SkyDome Memories

Yes September of 1992 I remember sitting in the end zone at that game. I remember the league didn't want to suspend ishmail for any games because he was a big draw at the gate and if I am correct I believe they just gave him a one game suspension and a big fine wich he donated to charity. Week after he went on speakers corner and electric circus and apologized for his actions.

He actually went and apologized on speaker's corner later that same day:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5a-8m4FJU00

What stands out for me...
1995 - Beating Calgary in a meaningless finale but still not expecting it.

As Ron likes to say, this was the night that the Argos saved Canada.

He didn't even get a one-game suspension as I recall; he was only fined.

Still can remember seeing John Candy sing with the Blues brothers... will never forget that.

I was at the last three grey cups... all lots of fun ... there was several great games against MTL and Hamilton... and a big game against the Bombers way back.

Lots of great players past and present... Pinball , Damon Allan, Doug Flutie , Matt Dunigan... all very class acts....

our Band ... the ARGONOTES.... and our Fantastic Cheerleaders...

Go ARGOS

I posted this wks ago in the Top 5 SkyDome Memories thread but here it is again, just because.

After going over the results since 1989, I came up with 15 games that to me are the most memorable and/or exciting in SkyDome/RC history. Here they are in chronological order with my top five in bold:

1990 BC 43 Toronto 68 -- Teams combine for most points in a CFL game
1990 Ham 39 Tor 60 -- Rickey Foggie with seven TD passes and 100 yards rushing
1991 Ham 18 Tor 41 -- Rocket's first game plus Blues Brother, Mariel, etc.
1991 Wpg 3 Tor 42 -- Argos dominate their rivals in the Eastern Final
1994 Ham 36 Tor 39 -- Marvin Graves keys massive fourth-quarter comeback
1996 Ham 38 Tor 36 -- Untelevised shootout between Flutie and Dunigan
1996 Cal 22 Tor 23 -- Two long TD plays by Jet and Masotti in the fourth quarter
1997 Mtl 30 Tor 37 -- Late heroics by Pinball and Flutie to win Eastern Final
2002 Cal 32 Tor 33 -- Prefontaine kicks us into the playoffs on last play
2004 Ham 6 Tor 24 -- Kenny Wheaton runs the length of the field to wrap up Eastern Final victory
2005 Ham 0 Tor 48 -- Just because we beat the Ticats 48-0
2005 Ham 11 Tor 34 -- Brian Diesbourg kicks for a million
2012 Ham 40 Tor 43 -- Argo fourth-stringers put Ticats out of the playoffs
2012 Edm 26 Tor 42 -- Ricky Ray runs in a TD en route to huge early lead
2012 Cal 22 Tor 35 -- Loudest crowd ever in 100th Grey Cup

Is there any footage available online of that 97 East final? I must have watched it, but I have zero memories of it. I know it has nothing to do with the amount of beer I drink.

Not even close to the best, but one game that always stands out to me is the 2013 home opener. Fresh off a championship win, great time, decent attendance and a classic Toronto vs Hamilton game. Ricky was a beauty as always. Burris thought he threw a TD pass to win the game and he raised his hands up. The day after a friend of mine sent me a picture of Burris celebrating with a caption that read "Winning: You're doing it wrong." This is what the next 48 hours was like for me.

I remember getting my picture with the Cup before that game in the new endzone area. Great crowd, great game, I thought all was good in Argo land, as a new season began.
