    Numerous posters in this Thread have said that they have issues with losing home games year after year.

    It's perfectly clear that MLSE can do no wrong in your eyes.

    Lol, it's weird how attendance went down in October and November after the calendar switched to Fall.

    Word is that the Argonauts have requested to have the majority of their home games in Summer next season.

    Your concerns are valid and I appreciate your enthusiasm but this is for the benefit of growing the CFL's identity in Atlantic Canada.

    Ottawa is a real estate play. No!
    Montreal is currently owned by the league with a potential sale for next year in a damaged market. No!

    The Argos are a loss leader to MLSE.TSN locked up the media rights till 2026 at a bargain price.They have achieved cost certainty which will allow them to concentrate on other properties.
    Mission accomplished.

    The only thing clear is that you complain about anything and everything. Complain about the move to BMO. Complain about MBT. Complain about the cool weather in fall. Complain about losing a home game. Waaaa. Cry me a river.

    Complain about the move to BMO Field? I've said numerous times that overall BMO Field is better than the Rogers Centre. MBT isn't a starter in the CFL IMO, I know that offends your delicate sensibilities but you're going to have to try to stop being so intolerant and learn that not everyone has the same opinions that you do.

    Like I said we're all well aware that MLSE can do no wrong in your eyes. Hopefully you'll be able to clean that brown off of your nose.

    Thank you for renewing!
    Isn't that going to make things look even worse for the TV broadcasts? I'm assuming that the Cameras will continue shoot from West to East?

    My informal poll suggests you are wrong, but I did it through DM so as not to totally make you blow a gasket.

    I bought my 4 seats again the other day. Cannot complain about anything... cannot go to anything for this price. This team is the best deal around. Hopefully we can be at least 9-9 this year.
    CFL alive and well all others can go to Hell!

    You don't get it. I'm not referring to any one specific thing so I don't know how you took a Poll. You've shown a pattern of intolerance for any opinion on anything that differs from your opinion.

    You get your nose out of joint about the smallest things. Hell you even complained about me quoting my own posts.

    Then why do you get so bent when I say the Argos have to be the ones to give up a home date at this point?

    You're a hypocrite plain and simple. You look at things from your personal perspective all the time and expect everyone to agree with you. Call me a fan boy for the Argos all you want, but at least I get why they are doing what they are doing, and don't let my personal feeling get involved. Of course I hate losing a home game, but I also understand the team least likely to sell tickets is going to be the one to lose it. It's common sense.

    If this is true the team can't close off the entire side. This is a BAD move

    The season was toast by the time fall season started this the attendance dip.
    Hopefully this year the Argos will be playing meaningful games in November, bring a light windbreaker and enjoy👍

    I think Hoagie explained it quite well. The people who have seats on that side of the field can renew their previous seats and add new seats still on the east side. The team also plans on using that side exclusively for group sales. Hopefully this will work out for the better and we will see that side more full than in previous years.

    Watched the new coach press conference and decided to renew. Price is good. Some of the games last year were a lot of fun... The EX game, Winnipeg game, Really liked the country theme game and home opener against the cats. Was well worth what I paid. I really like the stadium.

    Hopefully these road games to Halifax will be limited. Playing a game in Mexico is silly to me and would provide no benefit to the ARGO's. But that's just my opinion.

    Really looking forward to next year. Hopefully we get some new members. Go ARRGOS !!

    I renewed my 2 seats in 116 yesterday. The extended payment plan makes it quite doable.

    I haven't heard anything lately from Randy on an off site game, but we know one of the Argo home games is going somewhere. I believe Germany was mentioned as a possible site as they did draw quite well when NFLE was over there. Probably Mexico first though.

    Toronto wasn't the only team where regular season attendance dropped in October and November.
