A female streaker has been banned from BC Place Stadium, TMZ Sports reported, after storming the field during Sunday’s Grey Cup game between the Toronto Argonauts and Winnipeg Blue Bombers in nothing but footwear and a coat tucked under her arm.
In videos posted to social media, the nude CFL fan is able to make it to the middle of the field untouched before stumbling and falling to the ground. She recovers quickly and has the presence of mind to pick something up from the turf before being met by security in one of the end zones.
The R-rated show seems to have overshadowed the halftime performance by the Jonas Brothers with international media picking up the story and running with it.

It wasn’t the first time that a female fan strutted on the pitch in their birthday suit during a Grey Cup game.
A woman named Nadia Stooshnoff braved the -20 C temperature at Calgary’s McMahon Stadium in 1975, when she stormed the pitch topless before the opening coin toss at the 63rd Grey Cup. The Edmonton Eskimos won that barnburner over the Montreal Alouettes by a 9-8 margin.
The Argonauts, led by backup quarterback Nick Arbuckle, stunned the Blue Bombers 41-24 on Sunday in the 111th Grey Cup game to claim the franchise’s CFL-record 19th title.
