Tanenbaum even stated when asked the question, "We're not here to talk about that, we'll release something later on in the day, we're here to talk about the Argonauts". It as a coincidence that it all happened at the same time, I highly doubt Tanenbaum, Bell or yes even rogers planned for it to happen at the time it did.
    I can't help but laugh now every time I read one of those repetitive posts.

    Looks like the Argonauts have the cheapest seats in the CFL @ $199 for their 11 game season ticket package:

    "Actually, the Argos are offering the cheapest adult ticket in the CFL, and although the upper-deck end-zone seats are not ideal, getting into the building for a little over $18, including playoffs, is a pretty decent deal."

    Babcock stated he would make a decision on Wednesday (like a week or two before), no one had any idea that he was going to the Leafs on the Tuesday Night, news only leaked at 10 or 11 am on the Wednesday. Tanenbaum even stated when asked the question, "We're not here to talk about that, we'll release something later on in the day, we're here to talk about the Argonauts".

    Lol it's called communication which there was none that day. I don't think for a second that tanebum,bell or Rogers set this up to screw the Argos it's just that you have one side who could care less what the Argos do and then you have tanebum who isn't to crazy for the Argos or CFL and that kind of crap happens when you have people who dont give a damn! If they were that close someone could have said something before hand am sure the leafs owners knew of something a day or two before which they could of gave the word to tanebum to not have the press conference.

    Tanenbaum has tried to bring the Argonauts into MLSE on at least 3 different occasions. Yup, that equals he doesn't care. /sarcasm
    the news of the Argonauts sale leaked on Tuesday, before it was known where Babcock was going.

    Anyone who knows tanebum knows that this guy likes to own everything in life. Remember we are still talking about the same guy that is worth a billion and was stalling on buying the Argos when they were on death bed and had to be enticed to host the grey cup at his first year.

    They own the Argos. According to Rocket the Argo owners are to blame for everything.

    No I wouldn't go as far to say that when Braley owned them yes 99% was his fault with this new owner I still having a wait and see approach. I just trying to say that tanebum should try conduct himself a little better then what he has done to this point. If he is so much in love with the nfl coming to Toronto he should try to do everything behind a closed door and if the time does come then he can come say something with everything so far apart right now he should should keep his mouth shut and concentrate on the Argos succeeding at bmo field.

As well what about that single photoshoped picture they got from the tfc website to show Argo fans on how bmo field will look doesnt look to professional in my books. If they had such close relations you would think they would be able to show a little more then that. As well I have friends and family who have season tickets to the other teams in Toronto and they have said they have heard nothing with regards to the Argos but have heard from the other teams just not the Argos. So I still think the jury is out on how ml$e partnership with the Argos will be!
    I can tell you that both my buddy's company and 1 of my kids company have had Leafs season tickets for years. The Argos have never approached either company from what they told me. Now both company's order Argo season tickets. They were bombard by MLSE marketing staff.

    Yeah I have one cousin who has seasons for tfc and a friend who has them for the raptors and they both say that they are always emailed and even have phone calls to them if they want something from the other teams but they never have said they have been approached by the Argos. In the case with the tfc I am sure they will try to distance themselves to not try to start anything with there fan base. But I do believe you ballstothewall when you say that they have been approached by the leafs that is good to hear hope they find success that way. If you don't mind me asking are they giving any discount to them to entice them on buying Argo tickets?

    Rocket, are you buying season tickets, or just trying to be a wet blanket on all the positive news coming out? I almost think you are going to miss Braley because then you can't complain all the time.

    I'll take action on that. Braley's been gone for 5 weeks, but the complaining has not slowed down.

    As noted above he won't skip a beat.

    I believe I figured him out. He's trying to beat out 1argoholic for the most negative outlook. But 1argo is the "Sean Connery James Bond" of being negative and Rocket is the "Chris Tucker from Rush hour" version.

    While the playoff ticket inclusion is a great bonus, as they are usually more expensive, I wonder what the catch is if there is not a home playoff game??? Are they going to want to go through the hassle like last year of refunding money for a missed playoff game, or will they make us keep a certain amount towards the following season's tickets??? Hopefully, they don't just say "Oh well... no playoff game, so you gambled and lost"

    What Games are included in the 2016 Season Ticket Package?

    Your season ticket package includes 11 games including: One (1) pre-season game, Nine (9) regular season games, and One (1) post-season home playoff game. If the Argonauts do not qualify for a post-season home playoff game, the ticket price for that game will be credited to your account and can be applied towards your 2017 season ticket renewal, or a refund will be available upon request.

    Not yet sure if I be buying seasons yet! i used to always buy my tickets of a scalper at skydome the last couple of years so I never paid the full amount for the ticket a good way for me not to give my full support for the lousy owner. But don't think I will be able to do the same at bmo field. I know for a fact I won't miss Braley and his incompetent ownership of the team. I just hope that our new owner will show a little passion for the Argos or at least put people in its place for the team to be successful then I won't have to post about the off the field stuff and concentrate more so on the level of play on the field.

    Why is it everytime we get a sneak peek of bmo field with regards to picture,video,talk it is always based around the tfc?

    That camera is actually on top of the concourse. The view will be much closer from the seats themselves. After only watching the Argos from the endzone tho in the Skydome, I'd rather have seats at the sides, its just better for watching the game and plays develop.

    TFC has a very good beat reporter at the sun and active in everything the organization does, while the argos guys are semi-retired or not interested in anything.
    Kirk Penton in winnipeg and scott mitchell in calgary are similar that way as cfl beat writers.

    Maybe it would be easier if a toronto paper paid 50% of milton/edwards salary to cover both the ticats AND ARGOS. they put out a ton of social media stuff too.
