    2017 argos schedule released

    We are excited to unveil our 2017 schedule. The feedback you shared with us last year is reflected in this schedule. It has more weekend games, more consistency, and is a competitively balanced schedule. Thanks for sharing your feedback - it was very helpful in making this year's schedule. We hope you like it.

    So we get five Saturdays, two Thursdays and one Friday, Sunday and Monday. The only really loopy date is Monday, July 24. Our periods of rest are pretty bad in the early going -- three sets of two games in six days -- but fine in the fall. Our byes come late in the schedule. Only one home date during the Ex which IMO is good. Don't like having to play both Ham road games after August, but we get Mtl at home twice and are finished with Ott by mid-July. End the season with four games outside the division.

    I like the 4 p.m. start time for all but one of the weekend games (Sept 23 vs. Mtl is at 7). Allows for lots of tailgating, somewhat reduced sun and heat, and ends at a decent hour.

    Also, great to see no extended road trips. Two in a row max, and both have a short eastern trip for one game. One long stretch (Aug. 4 to Sept. 15) with just one home game, but I'm OK with that as I'd rather not play at home during the Ex. It's looking like our best schedule in at least half a dozen years.

    Hey Jamie -- thanks for posting here. As I've noted elsewhere, it's the best schedule we've had in years.

    One small complaint, though -- the PDF fans can download from the Argo home page has erroneous start times for the games in Western Canada. As one example, the B.C. game on Nov. 4 is listed at 10 p.m. ET on the CFL schedule, but at 7 p.m. on the PDF (which says all games are shown in Eastern time). It appears the PDF actually shows game time in the local time zone.

    We're big fans of the 4 PM starts for weekends and holidays! Leaves time to Tailgate and still have the game during the day.

    Great schedule. I didn't bother with the tailgating last year because no one going with me could get there in time to make it worth while on a weeknight.

    Was complaining about them not playing in Saskatchewan until October, but then realized that is a home game. They play in Saskatchewan in July. I am hoping to get there to see the new stadium. Maybe even to Winnipeg as well.

    I am betting the 1996-97 teams will be honoured at either the July 24 game (a tough-sell Monday) or the Aug. 7 game against Calgary. Pretty well has to be in the summer to get Flutie up for it.

    Yeah that Monday game is the one that doesn't make sense to me. It's not even a holiday Monday. I understand the Thursday and Friday games for TSN, but Monday?

    It's the only quirky date on the Argos schedule, but the beauty of it is that it's the only quirky date on the Argos schedule.

    Glad fans in Toronto are happy with the schedule but I am surprised the first half is not much better.

    The league and the club should be doing more to be successful in Toronto. Everything possible should have been done to ensure most games were played on Saturday with a few Fridays mixed in if necessary. Whether it was possible or not, I don't know.

    It is common complaint that people don't know when games are and for the first half games are all over the place. I'm not sure what they are thinking starting on a Sunday and having to play another Monday game. And then throw in a Friday game after the Sunday game? It would have been nice to build momentum through the early season but this schedule makes that difficult.

    Yeah for most people that's probably true. For us weekends After labour day usually conflict with the kids hockey so the last 4 home games will probably be problematic for us.
    :-(

    Also only 1 home game in all of July seems weird. (And as previously mentioned that 1 game is on a non holiday Monday)
