The Edmonton Eskimos posted a $2.8-million profit for the 2018 season.
The Eskimos unveiled the surplus in Janice Agrios’ report tabled Tuesday at the CFL club’s annual general meeting.
The Eskimos’ operating revenue for 2018 was $25.1 million, an increase of two per cent over 2017. The club’s gate receipt revenues, though, decreased by one per cent ($89,000), due to weather-related issues.
