It's a money-maker for TSN.

I hate how the Argos (and their fans) always draw the short straw for TD Atlantic. But playing the Roughriders in a 3,000-seat stadium might be the height of CFL stupidity. There would easily be 3,000 EXTRA fans at BMO if the game was played here.

It's being expanded temporarily to 10,000. Apparently, there were issues with building availability in Moncton and Halifax

When the schedule came out we were in heading into the Omicron wave so I doubt anyone would have been able to confirm availability.
Wouldn't be surprised is TSN had influence on the date and time as well.
Wonder what's going on in St. Mary's and Moncton where those places are not available.
FYI the TD Atlantic game has been rescheduled to start at 3 AT/2 ET. I like that new slot a lot better -- it still leaves sufficient time for pre-game activity and allows attendees to get back into Halifax in time for the evening.
Pre season game on June 3 will be in Guelph along with training camp
