MLSE purchase the Argos

[argos1873]

I would just like to point out that if the attendance at the East Final played in the decision of MLSE's purchase of the Argos, then Hoagie deserves hero status for issuing the challenge. I know I accepted it.

What was the challenge? For fans to show up? If so, I also accepted it, and drove down from Ottawa in the morning, and drove back up after the game. And people in Toronto complain that its just too hard to get to a game...lol.*

*Just kidding, it was hard to get to those Tuesday night games after work, with kids etc. But with a schedule full of mostly Saturday games, that excuse is gone for most people.

To be specific, the challenge was for Argo fans who are already going to bring as many extra people to the game as possible. You also deserve hero status driving from Ottawa! You should start a #whatsyourexcuse campaign on Twitter.

It was my first game at BMO. I really enjoyed the energy of the place. It was worth the drive. If I could afford the gas, I would do it every weekend game.

You picked a great time for your first time there. The energy is very good even with 13-14k in the building. I love the fact that the Argos are there.

I noticed that, just watching on TV. On TSN facebook, the trolls were going on about how TSN pumps crowd onto the broadcasts. I almost believed it. But the place is LOUD. I can imagine how even 13K sounds loud on TV. 24K sounded like 50. I never experienced that energy at Skydome, even at 35K games.

The metal bleachers definitely help with that, it's funny when there's 12k people there and cameras are rumbling when we're on D and it sounds/feels like there's 40,000 people there. One of the best things about BMO for me, it wouldn't be the same if it was a fully concrete stadium

I guess it helps that whatever Argo fans there are, we are the most passionate at any Toronto pro sport games. I would say TFC are passionate too, but I really think they are passionate for the sake of being passionate, if that makes sense. I'm going to go out on a limb here, but I'm going to say that many TFC fans are acting that way, to emulate being a European soccer fan, for the sake of being that way. Not sure that makes sense, and I'm sure there are many genuinely passionate TFC fans, but I just get that feeling about them.
