Argos at BMO Field

[argonaut11xx]

Actually, that's not the norm in Hamilton... it's just indicative of the Ti-cat/CFL fans of the city.
Other than the fanbase being older (which is a CFL thing), the Ti-cat/CFL fanbase in Hamilton are lower-income and less educated... and usually of the white-trash ilk. Why do you think the stadium is in one of the lowest income areas of the city? That's generally where the fanbase is.

If you wan't to hang out with more respected Hamiltonians, then stay clear of Ti-cat games.

Seriously?????...wow...and what race/socioeconomic group makes the "good folks" of Hamilton?

Keep the photos coming please.

I'm assuming from the rendering that all those pillars in front are temporary for construction purposes?

Of course, there has to be a catch. There's always a catch. I hope they can get it to the 20 eventually..

From the renderings I think those pillars are part of the permanent support structure.

Yes the large white ones are. They stand in each corner.

the skinny navy ones that look like crane towers are temporary. they are actually sitting on the field right now.

FYI: Midfield behind the argos bench is section 107 (section with far half of the maple leaf)

i figure right above far half of the maple leaf in lower deck are best seats in the house, although those two rows in upper deck underneath the wheelchair section look good too

Thanks for the great pics Qman. Much appreciated. Please keep them coming.

They better. 3 yards off of each endzone is a BIG deal. It affects kickers, receivers, etc.

Sounds like a gongshow to me.

Thanks, that's what I thought but I wanted to be sure.

How does it affect kickers? Just curious.

Rouge.

[AngeloV]

Rouge.

I don't think it affects then at all. Most punts or wide FG that are 15+ yards deep in the end zone are run out. It can affect the defensive side late in a tie game as far as the rouge go, but to me, there is no affect on kickers at all.

not a big deal as talked about in prior pages. will go almost unnoticed


... only affects the game if you go down to 12 yds like they had in memphis is a big deal and leads to less scoring ... smaller endzones are easier to defend

I agree. Although I'd like regulation end zones, I don't think 17 yarders are a big deal.

Another CFL quirk that I can appreciate. Reminds me a bit of the old days of the NHL when alot of the rinks were a different size

1argoholic can confirm, but isn't Peterborough's rink essentially a rectangle?

. The building is but the actual ice surface normal.
