    I don't know for sure, but on social media the Grey Cup Festival last week was asked directly and replied and didn't confirm or deny the event. We've participated in all four Fan Marchs and all four times enjoyed the fan parade. We'll miss it if it doesn't take place. Twice Sun Life were the sponsor and twice CP Rail sponsored.

    I am planning to be at the Shipyard on Friday, to start and then we'll see about Saturday. If you should happen to notice an older pie-eyed drooling inebriate in a blue sweatshirt with a large embroidered Argo crest on the front that would be my buddy. I'll be the good looking chap standing next to him.

    It would really suck if they did not do the Fan March-- I did it too in 2012, and had a blast, though I did not get to touch the Cup. Was planning on doing it...

    We would need a better description than that. Might fit the description of quite a few Argo fans.

    What can one expect at the Shipyard? A group of us are coming down Saturday and expecting to stop by. Is beer reasonably priced to get "pie-eyed" lol!

    Doubleblue: I will be the guy with the long face thinking about how this season should have been much different. In retrospect I guess that description doesn't exactly narrow it down either.

    $4 beers, unless you get the tall boy cans, which I believe are $7.

    Still haven't figured out why the Hockley Valley Dark tallboys are only $4 at the Tailgate. Not that I'm complaining.

    They were $7 at the Shipyard the days I attended.

    Wow - I feel stupid for buying in advance. Argos told me only obstructed view seats remained when I traded my $199 seats down to $89 seats, and look what they enabled. Will probably let my 6 seasons go. I didn't mind losing a little on the games I couldn't attend, but they are treating STHs really poorly!

    Pizza pizza selling pairs for $29 including pizza and wings? CFL are damaging their brand with this and should have left the seats unsold!

    I paid over $3k for the amount of seats I purchased. And am a bit pissed off... But on these the Argos nor the CFL really control what a partner does with tickets. Pizza Pizza would have been given an allotment as part of the Sponsorship agreement they signed with the league. When I use to work with MLSE we would actually go and buy back these tickets and put them on sale ( They do this with the Raptors and TFC) We would go to the pizza stores buy as many pizzas as we could and then bring back the seats to the office and put them back into Inventory. That being said the league should have not allowed them to advertise it and I am sure some in the GC committee are going nuts over it.

    The league claims that this promotion was "unauthorized."
