    Me too. I can't wait to be completely 'dry' at the game. Me thinks pre-gaming is in order.

    How can they call it a dry game if you are not able to take an umbrella ??
    Really... it would not be good to have to sit amongst people holding umbrellas anyway. I take a raincoat when I go to Hamilton and it looks like it may rain. No problem, actually fun.

    I'll take an Argos Flag to cover me, and a Ti-Cats one to sit on.

    Duke of York is near there. Many will meet there. Few other bars scattered along Yorkville area as well. And there's a Gabby's just east on Bloor St.

    Thanks for the suggestions. I'll be coming into Toronto early that day by Go Train so I'll probably start at Joe Badali's, then go to Jack Astor's, and then work my way up to Varsity. Is Shoeless Joe's still the official bar of the Argos?

    Where's everyone going to be before and after the game? Duke of York? Gabby's? the Madison? Somewhere else?

    Oh, what might have been: http://sports.nationalpost.com/2013/...ermanent-home/

    It is ironic that one of the leading opponents of the Argos' Varsity plan doesn't even live in Canada anymore.

    Yes, they are always worried about their precious Annex.

    Man, it would have been awesome if their plan to re-do Varsity would've come through. A stadium that you know belongs to the Argos would go a long way in re-establishing their connection to the city.

    That would not have belonged to the Argos home. MLSE and the soccer people were involved. If that came through there would be no BMO today.
