As usual ... by the time the other CFL teams get around to deciding on their dates (months from now) all the good dates will be filled up.

You seem to be suggesting that if the Argos were to request dates right now, they'd get whatever dates they want from the 13 periods when the BJays are not playing. I don't think there's any evidence that the Argos get first dibs on dates (after the BJays). I believe Rogers will give the Argos whatever dates it wants to give them, having already set aside some additional dates for large concerts and other events (many of which are booked or at least date-reserved well over a year in advance).

Your right Paul and its the reason we need to get out of there.

Karma will bite Rogers in the arse for their treatmant of the Argos. Karma is a ArgodomeArgodomeArgodomeArgodomeArgodome.

I've updated this, We are looking at the VERY REAL possibility of playing 2 home games in 2 months.

[Ballstothewall]

it's ok Boy's, once MLSE buys US, watch what happens with dates opening and Media attention changing in this city

[LLB997]

Honestly could it get worse than last season? As for the above comment , I would pray the commish nixes any MLSE deal as it will be the end of the Argos as we know them. I realize I gave Cohon too much credit when he proclaimed his manlove for MLSE at the state of the league address. Way to show all your cards.

This is fraking brilliant -

That Jays Tournament that messed with the Argos Schedule last year is back!!

A national baseball showcase tournament hosted at Rogers Centre, September 16-20, 2014.
Hello 1 home game in 2 months!

[Argocister]

So .... Will TFC be easier to coordinate schedules?

[T-Bone]

So .... Will TFC be easier to coordinate schedules?

TFC has 19 games guaranteed a year currently vs. the Blue Jays that have 81.

The shaft again!

The shaft again!

Can you please explain the reasoning behind this comment beyond the obvious "I hate MLSE?"

I am pretty sure that AT is referring to Rogers.

[T-Bone]

Ok, Rogers hate. Got it. I'll wait to see the schedule before I comment but I expect more of the same as the past couple seasons. Does anyone honestly expect any different?

[Mulder]

The shaft again!

Yup, and honestly, wait until 2015. 2014 actually looks worse than 2013 prior to schedule release.

2015 will be a gong-show schedule wise for the entire CFL. Especially for the Argos if they are still at the Rogers Centre.

The only team that has seemed to prepare for it is Edmonton.

CFL schedule expected to be revealed next week:

Because of the Pan Am Games I assume?

[Mulder]

Because of the Pan Am Games I assume?

And Fifa Woman's World Cup.

Montreal, Calgary, Regina & Hamilton won't be affected for that.

CFL Pre-season will start June 13th, 2015 (Edmonton vs Sask) playing in Fort McMurry. I'm going to go out on a limb and assume week 1 of pre-season 2015 will feature

B.C. @ Calgary
Regina @ Edmonton (Fort McMurry)
Somebody @ Hamilton.
Somebody Else @ Toronto (in Rogers Centre or Varsity Stadium)

Week 2 of the 2015 pre-season would open up Winnipeg's Stadium. The rest of the stadiums are still being used.

Ottawas, stadium opens up for play on Canada day. But the question remains for those scheduling conflicts is when are Ottawa, & BC going to play their home pre-season game?

With the pan am games, Rogers Centre is scheduled for the opening and closing ceremonies, & Hamilton's stadium for soccer. Going to be fun!

[Mulder]

Double checked the Rogers Centre Schedule. If the argos don't play at home the Friday after Labour Day. The Argos won't play at home at all during September.
