just prior to halftime, fog rolled into exhibition stadium in toronto, much to the chagrin of the 32,655 in attendance and the millions watching on television across north america. although not visible to the fans, play was able to continue until the 5:31 mark of the fourth quarter. visibility became so poor that referee paul dojack stopped play with winnipeg leading 28–27. after a 20-minute delay, cfl commissioner syd halter decided that the remainder of the game would be played the following afternoon. the game will be forever known as "the fog bowl".
