It's General Admission but there are 5000 seats and they can only sell 5000 tickets so you won't have to stand.

general admission but IIRC they had blocked off the middle section for season ticket holders last year or something to that effect....

great day for some football looking forward to it

The way it worked last year is that certain sections were blocked off base on the price level you paid for your season tickets.

Yeah it doesn't look like they're doing that this year. (Judging by the tickets)

Correct me if I am wrong, but I was under the impression TSN 1050 was broadcasting the game. There is some soccer game on instead. How disappointing.

TSN.ca is also broadcasting (no audio broadcasting though) the game, but you have to be a Bell or Rogers subscriber.

Yes, CFL "Games on Demand" are no longer accessible to non-victims of Bell or Rogers.

I'd pay a reasonable amount to watch only CFL games (i.e., PPV over broadband). I wouldn't pay a dime to subscribe to any cable, etc., package.

Thanks Snowrogue. TSN radio now has the Argo game on.

900 am in Ham has the game on.

**Qman** · 06-19-2014, 08:45 PM

this game live on 1050

Sounds like Johnson and Slaton are playing great at RB...D-line sounds really fast according to Hoagie, all qbs are having success. Cuts are going to be tough to make.

A nice problem to have (cf. Winnipeg's "international" kicker). Though (for example) the idea of more or less having to ditch one of Johnson, Slaton is quite unpalatable.

Milo said Slaton had a hamstring problem which affected his play somewhat. Interpetation, Johnson starts and Slaton goes on the injured list for now. Steele makes it for his ST play. Sewell, Dhillon, Coombs and Sinkfield should also be newcomers on the offensive side. Defense? Buy a program I guess. Canadians Emry, Black, Gabriel, Laing, Brown, Yurichuk and Tonye should be locks. Horton and Lawrence and a whole bunch of new imports on the D. Quite the pass rush from the new DLinemen, but will have to see if they are able to stop the likes of RB's Cornish, Harris and Cable when the lights go on.

I hope you're right. I'm a huge Steve Slaton fan, but Johnson was sensational and IMO should be the opening day starter. Such deceptive power for a smaller back. Be great to keep all three INT backs around somehow.

I think there should be a controversy at #2 QB. I thought Mitchell Gale looked way better than Harris. Gale has improved a lot, and Harris hasn't really improved that much.

I think Darvin Adams is a lock, and I think the D-Line is going to surprise a lot of people. I would venture to say there's more raw talent on the D-Line this year then there was last year, the question is how long will it take for them to gel. Romeus and Gibson are specimens, I think they'll be back starting in the NFL in 2 years.

And it pains me to say that I think Zach Collaros is going to have a big season in the Hammer this year. His uncanny ability to elude pressure and hit an open guy is a perfect fit for a team with Andy Fantuz on it. I think Ray and Collaros will be the top 2 QBs in the League this year.

We saw some pretty good football for a pre season game last night.

Agree with you on the QB's front.
I have been disappointed with the performance of Harris this pre season.
For me his stock has gone south big time with Gale as the back up and even Paschall ahead on the depth chart.
My opinion on Zach has not wavered as he may be the next wave of superstar QB in the league.
Who knows possibly to remain way after Ricky retires?

game has been announced as a sellout. good to hear.

Nothing wrong with that, except it's sad due to the what 5000+ limit.

**Argo** · 06-19-2014, 10:16 PM

Sounds like an invigorated performance by the Argos c/w glorious weather and everyone close to the action.

**Argo** · 06-19-2014, 10:27 PM

"The Argonauts totalled 359 yards passing while 8 quarterback sacks were posted in the victory."

Bliss (although Romeus wasn't built in a day).

**jerrym** · 06-19-2014, 11:19 PM

Here are the results for the CFL.ca website's player of the game, with Mitchell Gale and Jeremiah Johnson tying for the lead. The fact that six of the seven players were Argos reflects the Argos' dominance in the game.
