July 25, 2016: Montreal Alouettes @ Toronto Argonauts Game Thread

The veteran players need to step up and make plays. Put as many GTA boys out there as we have on the roster and tell them the road to the Grey Cup begins now and it begins with making BMO Field an unwelcome place to come.

Fair enough, but to frame this positively, I think that winning this particular contest certainly has added value.

I agree, and I am very confident we are going to win, and win over some new fans.

The Pokemon lures have been set for Monday. This is not a joke.

We took DB Thomas Gordon off the 6 game IR yesterday, so he'll be ready for Monday.

Good to hear.

[Wobbler]

I'm becoming convinced that Paul is right and that we are, in part, using the 6-game list as a PR-for-guys-who-wouldn't-accept-a-PR-salary. Players seem to heal up ahead of schedule just when we need them to. All part of the game, I guess.

what's the word on the tailgate scene? hear rumblings of just ontario place on twitter - all references to the exhibition lot are gone from the argos site too. have not heard any "official" communication on this.

The Shipyard is back to it's usual location beside the new hotel. Get there early if you want the $4 beers, the last game they ran out of the $4 Buds and only the "tall boys" left.

[mchesher03]

first game at the Ex tailgate the tall boys were going for $4 - it was fantastic. was surprised to hear they were $7 at the shipyard (which was the same as last week). still disappointed the team has chosen to move the ex tailgate to ontario place and more or less seperated from the stadium and out of sight. i'm sure there was a reason though - what the reason was and how good it is - guess we will see

[mchesher03]

well don't i look foolish - email was sitting there in my junk folder. my bad

The tallboys of Hockey Valley Dark were still $4 at the Ontario Place Tailgate last game.

Cool, where did you see this information?

@TorontoArgos: #PokemonGO trainers, lures will be set off at Monday night's game! #CatchEmAll here > https://t.co/oBIYyMI1BY https://t.co/PRdU9ravJ7

I see on the Toronto Argonauts Facebook Page that there is a Pokemon ticket offer too.

The Exhibition Place Tailgate is only available for about half of the games. Ontario Place Tailgate is every game:

[mchesher03]

that's what we previously had - now it's all at ontario place for what it's worth. interested in seeing how it goes as I really liked the exhibition site on the 23rd.

[gilthethrill]

No matter what team Kevin Glenn is suited up for, he always scares me when he plays the Argos. I am still pissed about how easy he made it look last year just after he was traded to Montreal in that "Hamilton Home Game".

That Pokemon thing or whatever it is reeks of desperation to get people to go to the game.

Would you feel better if you knew Major League Baseball was doing it too?

Heaven forbid that they try something new! And judging by the attendance at the last game they probably have reason to be desperate.

It's an inexpensive promotion for them. Low risk, nothing to lose.

MLB has already been doing these Pokemon promotions for weeks.

I'd call the Argonauts. Last game the Tailgate Parking Passes were showing as sold out online but when my brother called the Argonauts he was able to get one.
