Leave it at the Dome

[timlb01]

I will never enter that building again. I remember the hype when I was a kid starting in the 1983 Grey Cup game for a dome in TO. I don't have good memories of freezing in the rain at Exhibition Stadium but I do believe this is the best move for God's Team and the League. Looking forward to all of us Double Blue fans being treated as customers and humans unlike they way we have been treated under Roger's ownership of the Dome. The SkyDome was great when you had lots of people in it for big playoff or Grey Cup games and especially during the 1991 season. Looking forward to moving forward and the team having a marketing plan next year!

Well - I enjoy the game WITH my phone, btw. It is fun following reactions on Twitter, commenting on what's going on, sharing what you think is witty commentary and pictures with other fans at the game and also those watching on TV. (the band took a live request via Twitter from someone in Calgary once.)

Telling people that they're not enjoying the game in the right way is not helping, IMHO. Enjoy it however you like. Just get people to come to the games. Let's figure that part out.

Sure, enjoy the game however you wish.

For me, I don't understand the point of going to the game and then interacting away from the game.

A lot of this is petty stuff. Give me a full BMO with a resulting loud crowd and the game day crew can do whatever they want. This is my wish.

God's Team?
Who (the hell) is that?

Are non-Christians allowed to attend their games?

[argotom]

Ditto for me as yesterday was the last time I will go to the crap dome and have anything to do with Rogers.

The kiss cam is homophobic? Did I read that right?!

I think he's referring to when they would point it at two players as a "joke." I don think I've seen that this year though.

What do you prefer Satan's team? Sensitive form....

Satan has a team, the New Jersey Devils...maybe the Calgary Flames however Dante's Inferno referred to hell as a cold place...hmmm, two hockey teams, how appropriate.

The San Diego Padres and the New Orleans Saints are on God's good books...so who knows?

This God's team analogy, wasn't that an analogy that stormin' Norm Rumack used to describe the Leafs on the Fan590 during his late night vampire show during the 90's. Not always a fan, but used to cringe and grin when he'd refer to the Red Wings as the Murder City Dead Things.

Didn't mean to take this off topic, but to bring it back...the Argos got the ancient Greek Gods' on their side for all you polytheists out there. Argonauts is still one of the great names of any sports team anywhere in the world.

And the boat logo is the best sports logo in the world. Needs to come back.

Tell me about it. Did you hit a nerve with an atheist over a figure of speech? No need to mix religion in an Argos forum. To be clear though, Satan's most famous team is the Red Devils of Manchester! 😄

"God's Team" is a figure of speech?
I've never heard of the Argonauts referred to as "God's Team", hence my questioning of it.
And I agree, there is "No need to mix religion in an Argos forum", just as there is no need to mix politics here either.

Bingo. Some people want to complain just for the sake of complaining.

Agreed. If you were to go across Canada most teams are doing similar things to what the Argonauts currently are doing. It's part of the game day experience, not that I'm a fan of most of what the Argonauts do, but even I realize that it's about trying to appease as many as possible and provide a positive experience.

[Al&Kat]

one thing we have always enjoyed was our ArgoNotes band.
certainly hope that the new ownership can make a space for the band, we would really miss them at BMO...
Sincere thanks all you people in the band, and especially to the Dictator, for all those fun post-game celebrations at the Jays Store/ Gate 1
Memories last forever.

[shayman]

thanks Al&Kat! I will pass that along to the band. It's been a lot of fun for us this season despite some hurdles, but we made it to "home" games not just in Hamilton but also Fort McMurray too. Looking forward to new challenges next season, hopefully including a full slate of home games actually at home :-)

The post-game rallies were great fun for 21 years. We've got a chance to build some new traditions now. Pretty much starting from scratch, I'm willing to try anything and am looking forward to getting together with the game day folks in the off-season to figure out what the best plan for 2016 is. We've got a few ideas!

[ArgoFan1]

Another vote for the Argonotes !! Looking forward to seeing/ hearing you at BMO. Hopefully they put you in a place of prominence.

["Issues"Mcgee]

I feel it worth to point out the Argos are obviously God's team, given that Ricky Ray is a messenger of God and his most glorious champion.

[1argoholic]

I prefer Satan I although I don't believe either God or Satan exists at least the Devil is cooler.

I'd much rather here The Argonotes between plays rather then CRAP. They'd play those cool old Argo songs.

Leave a coil in a sink at the dome.
