Tailgating at BMO Field

[Rich]

I purchased tailgating for the pre-season game to check it out and then I will make my decision about the rest of the year. Speaking of which, does anybody know if the order confirmation for the purchase is all that is needed to get in to the tailgate?

I'm pretty sure they said they would email print-at-home tickets for the tailgates.

This is what the order confirmation says:

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Your purchased tickets will only be enabled online for printing beginning in June. You will not have access to print tickets before this time.
For more information, call 416-341-ARGO (2746)

I checked this My Argonauts AccountManager this afternoon and they weren't there so I've sent an Email asking when they'll be available to print. I'll let you know what they say when I hear back.

I received a Purolator notice today, so I'm assuming that It might be my parking pass as I've already received my season tickets. On another note, I just grilled up what I will making with by group for the tailgate this Saturday. I'm hoping the rain will hold off, but we have a canopy just in case.

Looking forward to the season.

Make sure you freeze it

Hahahaha......No, it was a trial run. I needed to make sure my timeline would work from arriving at 1:30 and packing up by 3:30. In case you were worried, it all worked out perfectly! First game theme: Surf and Turf!

Never a bad time for Surf and Turf.

Thanks for the info. I was able to print off my parking pass today -- it wasn't there when I first posted the question.

So walk in traffic is allowed But due to capacity limits you have to know someone that has parked a car in the Tailgate Parking Lot. That seems like a fair compromise to me.

Its stupid if you cant take the GO train, and just walk in the tailgate area.

Not really, their Liquor Permit and Event Insurance probably has a maximum number of people allowed.

[Ron]

Rules look OK. Just make sure any family emergencies wait until the 3rd is finished.

[Jumbo]

Looking forward to tomorrow. Our group has our pass, bbq, canopy, and music. Can't think of a better way to spend a Saturday afternoon.....bbq.....beer....friends....football!

Bummer.
Well, since I can't check it out myself (taking the GO train), you guys will have to report back how it went.

[Jumbo]

I'm not sure how strict they are going to be. I talked to my rep about members of our group that will be coming down by GO train, and he told me there shouldn't be a problem. I'm going to email a copy of our parking pass to guys who will be tailgating with us but taking the GO train, so they can use that to get in as one of our ten. I'd suggest you find a group of guys you can link up with and take advantage of the opportunity. In the past our group would just go to a pub and drop at least $60 each in a place with no one supporting the Argos. Hopefully this opportunity will grow and become quite successful.

I agree. I think the only thing they will be strict on is public intoxication.

[Neely2005]

If anyone is interested in going send me a PM and I'll give you my name to use to get into the Tailgate. It says 10 walk ups / guests per car so it should be fine.
