    Robbie Smith re-signs

    https://www.argonauts.ca/2023/01/27/...-robbie-smith/

    Hope he gets an expanded role in 2023. I think he's earned the opportunity.

    Excellent news. Their Canadian FA’s should be their to priority in re-signing players. Hopefully Gittens is not far behind.

    Good to see the Brampton native resign with the team that drafted him.

    Excellent ! One of the best DEs in the league IMO (and most under-rated).

    Hope he can become a long-time Argo fixture.

    Argos have some real fine Canadian D-line talent in Robbie + Acheampong + hoping to see a lot more of Dionte Knight next season; and if Luiji Vilain shakes free from the NFL like Ryan Hunter eventually did, that would be another nice addition there (wouldn't hold my breath on that one though).

    Be careful or you’ll be next in line for a stern lecture, it appears First Ontario Centre renovations are causing major issues for their tenants.

    And they are still called the Toronto Rock. Bizarre.

    The overheads playing at the ACC were immense, and Coca-Cola Coliseum wasn't an option for whatever reason.

    Great to see Smith signed! And yes overhead and last pick for dates prompted the move from ACC. They're getting great crowds with lots of energy now, too bad the renos will have them move again temporarily.

    The cost to play of of Coca Cola is also really expensive. Building is owned by the City of Toronto but operated by MLSE. They must use IATSE and unionized workers at Coca Cola thus putting on events at that venue has always been costly. One of the main reasons you don't see it used for Concerts as much as it should.

    WWE does non televised shows at Coca Cola. Maybe the unionized workers cost more, but that doesn’t mean the rent for the building is as high. They obviously weigh the pros and cons and decided the pros out weigh the cons.

    He's only 25, so he has the potential to be mainstay of the defence for a long time.
