The CFL definitely owns the Argonauts name so, as much as the NFL in Toronto folks would love to get that, it will not happen. Ornest had the right to do what he did, whether the league liked it or not - and, at the time, the league had many more worries than that particular issue - but Harry ultimately did the Argos no favours by giving that right up.
Years from now, what will the memories of SkyDome be for Argos fans? Many look back on Exhibition Stadium and Varsity Stadium before that fondly but what will fans say about SkyDome? I doubt that we will be hearing, "Oh yes, I miss seeing that roof open and close so much! Those were the good old days." As I have said many times before, ironically, the SkyDome was born out of the 1982 Grey Cup that the Argos lost to Edmonton. However, you would never know that if you only looked at the shabby, second-class citizen way that the Argos have been treated at that stadium from the outset.
