    I don't understand it, the need to get inebriated and to start in the morning, that's a serious problem.

    You can enjoy a couple drinks without getting inebriated.

    Agreed, nothing wrong with having a few pops whether its gearing up for a sporting event or on a Friday night. Nothing wrong with not having any at all, to each their own.Much different story if you’re having too many on a Sunday morning I totally agree, however let’s be serious, I’ve been to every Argo tailgate this year (except this one sadly) and those getting smashed would be the exception not the rule.

    Agreed, it's just silly that this old prohibition era attitude towards alcohol is still so prevalent in Ontario though. I've been to every Argonauts Tailgate too (except this years preseason game) and honestly I've never seen anyone drunk.

    The should hold the Argos Tailgate on "Temperance Street"! It wasn't so long ago that we had 'dry' districts in TO. When I was young, they introduced alcohol on Sundays only with food.

    Would the tailgates have been called wagongates back then? ;-)

    What the heck are you talking about? Certainly not the Argos tailgate. I know I will keep my rep intact slamming a grand total of 1.5 beers (I can't seem to ever finish a second). Considering the time and weather, I'll probably be more into coffee and hot chocolate. I'm personally going for the live band, experience and atmosphere before game time. Hopefully we can spot Babcock in his RR jersey. Should be a blast.

    The lines for beer and washrooms were long, but I figure the Argos will learn from the experience and adjust logistics accordingly.

    It was a great tailgate. A little windy at times. Met some good people. Met and showed my appreciation to Marshal Ferguson of TSN 1150. I only managed one beer, $7 Hockley Dark. Food trucks had breakfast for sale that was actually pretty good. Argos have the nicest, most welcoming fans I know, honestly. While other teams have obnoxious losers who hang stupid, hateful signs, this bunch of fellow fans I will always be proud to be a part of.

    Am a bit late with this, but I had a great tailgate with my buds from sect.226
    Thanks goes to Mike and Michelle for being fabulous friendly hosts.

    Even got to photo-bomb a Sask tailgate, two vehicles down the line!
    The Sask fans were also very friendly and nice to talk to.
    I expect everyone, on both sides, was thinking of our mutual 2016 last-place finishes and
    just so happy to be there...
