2017 argos schedule released

[doubleblue]

Argos did something similar at the SkyDome. We arranged for 2 buses and brought minor league football players from Oshawa and Whitby. A great idea.

I remember that game. The first half was ear splitting with all those high pitched voices cheering. lol Then a lot them had to leave early in the second half to catch their buses back at the schools I guess. I would think the 11:00 am start would allow the kids to stay for the complete game.
Shouldn't affect the players starting at that time as they would be used to practicing in the mornings during training camp anyway.

I think you might be mixing up the UoT night when they brought in university students. They left at halftime.

Preseason attendance was 26,000 at SkyDome. And we stayed the duration. I believe it was held on a weekend??

If you are talking about the 2012 home preseason game, it was played on a Tuesday afternoon. Close to 35k were in attendance IIRC.
