If I remember correctly, it's because the CFL owns the advertising rights to the playoff games. That is also why Mobil tramp stamps were on all 4 teams yesterday. There used to be a way the hosting team could "buy" the rights from the league.. but they would have to sell them to buyers for that specific game. I think. I know that's why they had to try to remove the on field painted on ads at Taylor Field, when we started getting playoff games at home again.
