Now that conditions are right and the future looks bright again, it's time to get on with it!
We were fortunate to host, with the Oshawa Hawkeyes, the Argos Fan Day in 2015. It was considered by many a big success. It involved a number of minor league football games being played around the event.
Tyler Puley did a great job coordinating for the Argos. Danny Webb and the Argos Equipment Team handled the local conditions in a professional manner.
We used the opportunity to retire local Oshawa Hawkeye legend Jason Pottinger's jersey. Funds were raised that went to support minor league football.
Very good media coverage. We had a local FM broadcast live.
Of course the "Pinball" attended.
The location of the playing field was adjacent to the 401 and a Go Station stop.
One idea that came from the event, was that it could be annually rotated across the GTA and each year a local team could take ownership.
I am sure some forum members attended. As we all know, the devil is in the details. I welcome constructive input in the effort to help the Argos optimize the event.
It goes without saying, that the Oshawa Hawkeyes would welcome hosting the event once again this year.
