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.
