    LOL! Tony was a legend while Peter not so much. Peter seems to feel as strongly about the Argos as Tony does about the RedBlacks/Renegades/Rough Riders though.

    I'm sure Phil Collins is behind all this.

    Meh. I find it hard to be sympathetic after he played the "You don’t know who you’re dealing with" card. The staff probably should have been a bit nicer, but PG seems like a jerk.

    There is no need to wait for a supervisor. When I had trouble I simply walked to the guest services counter and explained the situation. The security person in question was following me everywhere, so he followed me there. He got his comeuppance there. End of that hassle. I would say that is good advice for going to games at the dome, but there is only one more of those for all time, and I for one, will never be inside there again.

    It looks like this 'policy' is open to interpretation and some masks are allowed:

    How so? Because the Rogers Centre allows some masks but not others?

    Because these people aren't wearing masks designed for masquerade, but rather something that is cultural.

    "you don't know who you're dealing with." Seriously, dude? NO ONE, even diehard Argo fans, would know who you are. Saying you had a cup of coffee with the Argos 40 years ago is an insult to coffee cups.

    Maybe he was thinking he would get away with...

    The irony is that Peter Gabriel, the singer, was known for wearing masks in many of his stage shows with Genesis. Had this Peter Gabriel came dressed as a flower or an old man, it may not have been as much an incident. Although the old man mask was a full face mask...geez, no wonder he's never played Skydome, always the Amphitheatre or an arena.

    Thank God fans won't have to deal with the Gestapo and KGB security at Rogers Centre after next week. They can finally have what they've always wanted...they can finally sing, "I'm only wanting freedom. I'm only wanting freedom." That's freedom to cheer and freedom from Rogers, only old Genesis fans could fully appreciate the context of that last sentence.

    That would have been the card to play although the Rogers person may not have known who Tony Gabriel is either.

    Yah the you don't know who you're dealing with is a pile of crap but the whole issue was blown way out. I'm sure this was a race issue.They figured that a white guy in a black mask was wrong. The fact that it was a Tiger Woods mask made it not only wrong but stupid judgement.Who cares if a rich golfer can pay for and sleep with beautiful whores. They are still what they are. Woods is a TOOL! It is however a Halloween Mask!! Cut the guy with bad judgement some slack. He wasn't dressed in black face paint mocking anyone.

    I think he should come back with a few friends and they all should wear the masks along with home made Rogers Sucks shirts!!! It is not right. They could have handled it differently but the security guard probably did not work on de-escalating the issue and went for the jugular.

    I ask again: did some try to get the "Rogers sucks" chant going last game like i heard would be tried; and if not - why not (very disappointing); and if it was tried, did the Rogers Gestapo try to do anything about it?

    One last home game, and I would love to see some Argo fans make an effort to mock, humiliate, insult or otherwise p.o. those scumbag, wannabe, corporate sleazeball Rogers @$$-hats. It would be fitting for what the Argos were put thru by those clowns this year and they deserve it anyways for being a scum company - a nice Argo middle finger salute send-off to that hole. Chant, hold up signs, cause disturbances that send their little pin-head Gestapo twits into a frenzy, etc. etc. Please ;o)

    I have a 3XL jersey from the 90's that I have no use for which should be large enough to fit on the Ted Roger's statue if anyone wants it.
