Sacramento Gold Miners in a Wild West Shoot Out

In 1993, the CFL expanded into the United States with the addition of the Sacramento Gold Miners. Here is an ad that appeared in the Sacramento Bee hyping the Gold Miners’ home opener at Hornet Field vs. the Calgary Stampeders.

The ad features a comparison of Sacramento quarterback David Archer to Calgary quarterback Doug Flutie.

Calgary won the game 38-36 in front of a crowd of 20,082.
