    Hats off to MLSE for stepping up and investing BIG into a city owned stadium in time to keep the Argos going. I'm fine with a slow transition into sharing this facility. Larry Tanenbaun has done plenty for this franchise over the last 18 months. Thankful.

    I agree with you.

    No it's been more than that. I just don't want people talking.

    On Friday (when it was free admission, although I think you're expected to give $5 to some charity thing at the entrance) I went to the Toronto Indy and saw several people wearing Argo stuff. I heard a guy on the P.A. system mention the Argos play at the stadium, and on this 3-minute YouTube highlight video of the races on Sunday you see an Argo cap at 0:09, and the cheerleaders on the post-race victory podium starting at 2:35 .

    Edit: I didn't know about this because it was before my time, but it showed up when I did a Google search.

    In 1959 ... things happened that would lead to the eventual extinction of oval track car racing at the Ex ... the Toronto Argonauts moved from Varsity Stadium ... a "war" literally broke out between the football team and the racers. The Argos did not appreciate having their field -- in the infield of the now-quarter-mile race track -- periodically torn up by out-of-control racing cars. By the early Sixties, the football team had convinced the powers-that-be to kick the race cars out of the Ex once the regular CFL season started in July.
