The Baltimore Stallions were the most successful American team in the
CFL's generally ill-fated southern expansion effort into the United
States, and by at least one account, the winningest expansion team in
North American professional sports history at the time. They had winning
records in each season (1994 and 1995), won a division championship,
and, in 1995, became the only American franchise ever to win the Grey
Cup. After the 1995 season the city of Baltimore had reached an
agreement with Art Modell, to bring NFL football back to Baltimore, thus
supplanting the Stallions. The Stallions moved to Montreal and became
the Alouettes.
