MJWalker45 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 NFL teams should follow this and see how it goes. If it limits drunken fans at games and it's only slightly more expensive than bringing your own beer in, fans might be fine with the switch.

As a huge TFC fan who was not thrilled to find out that the Argos are moving into BMO (the whole removal of grass thing) I think this plays right to that community. No, not just the beer. The idea of getting together pregame with friends who share a same interest is what i'm leaning towards when I make this statement. It's a whole event, not just "going to the game". Well done Argos.

BigBubba Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I am very, very excited for the Argos this season. BMO looks spectacular, tailgating should be a ton of fun, and we have the Grey Cup in November -- which the Boatmen have a respectable shot at. I've already snagged a three-game flex pack and, by the looks of it, so have many other fans. Good riddance, Rogers Centre! Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature.

TSN gets my tv rating only because curious how it looks at BMO. Cheap tickets for a Jays game still less than Argos- that's a problem for me when I just wanna sit & toss a few back live. @2001mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted June 22, 2016 Author Share Posted June 22, 2016 Mind you, tickets cost more for a football game because there are only about 1/10th as many played. I understand why there's a difference. Baseball is a game; football is an EVENT, especially now that tailgating is happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2001mark Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 BC Lions have got to burn their new look. Atrocious. Tonight's Stamps-Lions matchup is worthy of worst looking matchup of all time. F'n Calgary & their black helmets. @2001mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnysama Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Well, the visuals notwithstanding, BC eeked out a win in their first game over the Stamps, 20-18. I'd call that a fairly encouraging start for BC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I'm fine with the home helmet for BC, but it's weird that there's no sideline gear with that logo on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think TSN has the classic Lions logo for its visuals also. From best helmet, hands down, to worst. @2001mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadragon76 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Is there a reason why the Argos are playing at BMO this season? I thought they always played at the Rogers Center. Oh, and I thought it was weird as hell to see the Stampeders in black lids. The Lions in black made sense and looked good, but Calgary didn't.

They would've been homeless this season if not for MLSE(?) & BMO Field. BMO should work out for them fine, I think them being underdogs in TFC's stadium gives them a bit of charm. Much more than sticking a new stadium in Downsview Park with little fan support... they'd be crucified. @2001mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
