2021 Schedule - Take 2

[Mightygoose]

Revised schedule is out

2021 Schedule Released - Toronto Argonauts

All 7 home games will be at BMO with the opener Aug 31 vs WPG @ 4pm. Season opener in Calgary Aug 7 @ 7:00 pm

Have Hamilton 4 times including the Labour Day Classic and a 'Thanksgiving Day Classic'.

There is a Wednesday night but will make as best they can this year.

How soon we can have fans in the stands and how many will be looming question with 2 home games in August.

Almost every home game is a Friday night. Interesting approach. Wonder how that would work when full stadiums are allowed.

[Argonut1996]

MLSE must believe Toronto fans want weekday games. Hope they are right.

This is not nearly as bad as it might have been. I was expecting to lose a home game to some venue out west, and to play no home games before early September. It's a tough schedule, with six games against the two most recent GC finalists (including four against Ham) and road games in Calgary and Sask, but overall it's not bad.

A few observations:

Three annoyingly tight turnarounds: Aug. 21-26, Sept. 6-10, and Oct. 6-11. Fortunately there are no road trips among those: home/home, Ham/home, home/Ham.

The bye week spacing is not ideal: weeks 9 and 11. But I don't mind having a third bye in week 16, so we can rest up for the playoffs.

One Wednesday home game is a bit annoying, and it's too bad we have only two Saturdays among our seven home games.

The 2021 Argos are going to look adversity in the face and spit in it’s eye. A stern warning to the other 8 CFL teams, close your blinds, turn out the lights and hide under your beds.....

Given the tough circumstances and the team's history of less than ideal scheduling, they could have done way, way worse.

Thumbs up from me.

Our original 2021 home schedule was very good, aside from the missing home game. This schedule... is Not. Only 2 weekend home games! From what I can see every other team has 3 or 4 weekend home games. Hamilton always gets a Labour Day home, we should always get a Thanksgiving Day home game.

I agree, should have had the Thanksgiving day at BMO.
Having said this I can’t complain too much considering what we have all gone through since March, 2020.

John Facenda, is that you?

I get why they scheduled Thanksgiving in Hamilton. The CFL will have the day to itself, and it will be more of an event type of game there than here.

Their last event of the year. Be sweet for the Argos to represent the East in Hamilton….AGAIN.

I am not familiar with this John Facenda individual. I was reenacting an Inglorious retired wrestler named “Hurricane Hugo”.

I understand he’s not a very nice person.

No he is not nice. Mean as they come. A real brute.

I personally can’t wait for the Nov 12 7:30 start. Might get pretty chilly. Let’s see who bares the elements that night to cheer on the team.

I’ll take it, beats sweating your ass of watching a game in July.
