TFC drew half the crowds the Argos drew this season but I believe the entire stadium was open for their games once the restrictions were removed.
Cameron Dukes + Dan Adeboboye + Kevin Mital + David Ungerer + Damonte Coxie + DaVaris Daniels + Dejon Brissett = Unstoppable Force
Does anyone believe they should be charging $86.50? MLSE have done nothing to create awareness, brand, sense of excitement, create a fanbase, etc.....Yet they charge that. They need to create demand first. They have owned this team for years now, and have no strategy. Yet when,they say they need to sell the team because there is no interest "journalists" will write....if MLSE can't make the Argos work, nobody can. I call BS. They haven't tried
GO ARGOS!!!
Agreed.
Like I previously stated, however unless I am missing it, there has been nothing on local radio, tv or social media sites for the big game from MLSE?
When you consider how small the actual ticket department for the team, involving 2 dedicated reps that I know of, you would think this is yet another example of keeping the product and team down several notches on the bottom rung?

TORONTO ARGONAUTS FOOTBALL CLUB
GREY CUP CHAMPIONS: 1914, 1921, 1933, 1937, 1938, 1945, 1946, 1947, 1950, 1952, 1983, 1991, 1996, 1997, 2004, 2012, 2017, 2022
Looks like McCoil is coming off the 6 game early (he was added on Nov 5).
Any chance Charleston Hughes gets the nod at DE ?
I was able to get a couple upper deck tickets at significant discount. Just mentioned I was season ticket holder when I called in to ARGO's and was no issues. Season tickets are a good deal if you donate or buy extra tickets during the year IMO.
Those seats in the first 5 rows in the upper deck might be the best seats in the stadium so I have no issue with the cost, but I have always thought there should be sections of low cost seats in all CFL stadiums so any fan can attend.
This should be a great game and atmosphere this Sunday. Hope people will try to make it out. Lets go ARRRGOS !!!!!
Ticats D: D-half Ciante Evans (very good DB talent IMO) was knocked out of the semi vs. the Als - and replaced by Tunde Adeleke, with rookie Katsantonis (impressive young safety talent - good tackler and had a nice pick that game) going in at safety; Evans was listed as limited for practice this week (quad injury), so i wonder if he can't go, would they use Adeleke there or bring in a new import to play D-half? Adeleke is IMO a real good DB talent and he did play D-half quite a bit at Carleton i believe, but still not experienced in the Ticat D there; regardless, if Evans can't go, maybe a spot the Argos can exploit with their passing game ?
With Boateng out, Hagerty not practising is very concerning. We might have no backup NAT DBs, which would force an adjustment in how we use the designated INTs.

Strange. Argos had signed Dondre Wright towards the end of October, but he was added to and then removed from the suspended list. I guess Tiggie Sankoh being a Global player would be the guy to fill in at DB if needed in a back up role. Wright has been a pretty good player in this league even starting some with Montreal in the past.
It's us vs the rest of the country
I also suppose they could move McCoil or Edwards back to DB if an injury struck. Let's hope everyone is healthy enough to play heading into Sunday, and stays that way through the game. I would bet Hagerty will be in the lineup, but pretty confident Boateng is done for the year.

We're screwed.
Ivey made one hellacious block in the Edmonton game and seems like a better choice to replace Tate than Coleman, who looked awful in that game. But this will be a trial by fire for him.
Losing both Hagerty and Boateng really hurts as it forces us to dress an extra INT at DB (Decoud) and lose Feeney from ST and d-line rotation. We really need Ray, Law and Smith to have big games at DE.
I guess if McCoil flunks either of his last two tests, either Feeney or Tuggle will replace him. If Richards ends up out, we can move Collins to halfback and start Decoud, with Daniel next man up, I guess. Let's hope MBT, McCoil and Richards are all able to go.

Hamilton is dressing a single backup o-lineman, and their starting centre Darius Ciraco has been reported to be iffy for several weeks. Big risk there. I would never dress just six o-linemen on a roster of 44. (In fact, I would never dress six on a roster of 37.)

The Riders have been doing this all season Paul; I totally agree - risky / dumb; and we've seen the in-game injury situation to O-linemen this season (the Als had several in one game and ended up deploying a D-Lineman for a bit); I never like to see injuries to any players, but it would really teach a team a big lesson if they had 2 in-game injuries to starting O_linemen and only one back-up dressed - especially in a do or die play-off game.
With Hagerty out, Argos have signed (just this week?) former Stamps Canadian DB Adam Thibault - who hasn't played since 2018 (but was a good ST tackler for the Stamps); I guess a Murphy connection ? And hopefully Decoud is a starter - better DB over Richards IMO. Mid season rookie pick-up - DT Ben Marion is dressing; i guess Junior Turner is injured or nicked or something ? - otherwise I do not get why Marion would be in over him.
