Post-Game Update: Argos Fall in First Game at Tim Hortons Field

Final Score: 12-13

Just heard on Prime Time Sports that the Labour Day Classic might be moved to the Rogers Centre because Tim Hortons Field might not be ready in time.

They're going to discuss it at 6:15 tonight.

If RC is available, that is the most logical venue.

Shouldn't matter to Hamilton, their fans will out flank our fans anyway.

[ArgoRavi]

I think that it would be great for both the Ticats and Argos if it were moved to SkyDome but I am not convinced that Rogers will make it easy.

Apparently if the game is moved to the Rogers Centre it will be on Tuesday.

Total joke, still screwing around 1 week from the game, I feel bad for Ticat fans being jerked around as well!!

That would take the "Labour Day Classic" out of the game entirely....hope Mr Young is right....Argos should do ok in front of 18,000 Ti-Cat fans.....with Jeremiah Masoli at the helm.....

It's not up to him though, they have to get a permit from the building inspector because the building isn't going to be completed.

Yeah they need 2 days to switch from Baseball to Football and the Blue Jays are playing on the afternoon of August 31st.

Will be nice to get the first win at the new stadium.... should be a whopper of a game..... Its going to be great for their fans to have this stadium once its all finished...... I think having the grey cup in Hamilton down the road will be a blast...... Sometimes things like this happen in the CFL....but in the end its going to be an excellent stadium.... really looking forward to the game this weekend.... Go ARGOS.

I got til sunday to cancel my motel 6 reservation In Burlington if the game Is tuesday. no hurry to decide.

Bob young won't be going on live TV in hamilton if they were not 100% convinced labour day is a go.
Only chance for the skydome, is if something very unforseen happens in the next 6 days.

They are painting the lines tomorrow, ticats practicing tomorrow.
Basically they said they have a half-day of work to finish safety items and the rest is clean-up and putting out banners getting things ready.
The west upper deck will not be open (5000 seats).

Looks like it was no problem with Rogers. Your bias got in the way of logic this time.

Oh yes he would. He's doing it to pressure the powers to pass it. 100% politics. We shall see if it works.

Not quite... It would be the "LaterDay Game" if it were at the dome..... as in tuesday (I can't take credit for that ... I heard that on the radio)

[gilthethrill]

Ti-Cats fan forum shows pics of Zac Collaros practising stating he has been removed from the 6 game IR...also C Pete Dykowski is on THF participating in the team practise. All of a sudden I am getting a bad feeling about Labour Day...which happens every year...

[Neely2005]

Any word on whether Owens will play?

[argolio]

Any word on whether Owens will play?

I heard he wouldn't as of yesterday.

[ArgoRavi]

He is listed as doubtful for this game but Milanovich was happy with the MRI results on his knee so he should be back in the lineup before long.
