    Article claims the 2016 Grey Cup will also be hosted by Toronto. The Grey Cup Hamilton should be hosting!

    Anyways, glad to see this is finally getting done. Looking forward to catching games at BMO.

    Hamilton will get a Grey Cup soon enough but there wouldn't be an Argos still if Toronto could not host next year's Grey Cup.

    That is correct. U.S. ratings measure viewers in the U.S. Even if every single Canadian watched the NBC broadcast of a Winter Classic game, it would not affect the ratings NBC cares about.

    Best case scenario, all the marketing and financial clout needed (and then some) with no Rogers involvement!!
    Hopefully the new ownership now looks at the football operations and takes care of Milanovich and Barker who have shown nothing but class during these trying times!!

    The Argos went from having the worst ownership in Toronto to having the best. No mega corps banging heads and f@cking up football operations.

    expect a story from sportsnet about an unnamed NFL owner who thinks Toronto would be a great NFL city either Wednesday or thursday. haha

    Finally. Congrats to all Argo fans. And congrats to all CFL fans in general. As much as you all may hate us, you know you need us around, healthy and strong. Maybe, just maybe for once all us fans can just focus on the football and the rivalries without the doom and gloom hanging over somewhere in the league. It really is a long time coming, and the result should be a major resurgence in our game.

    Yes good news to finally get this soap opera over with, turning the page and bringing in new ownership with a local face and combination finances.
    Something which has been missing for some time.
    Like some have also mentioned, there is nothing but gratitude for me and best wishes to Mr. Braley for saving this team when no one else stepped up.

    Agreed on thanking Braley for saving the Argos, and keeping them afloat, but I do wish he did with a bit more effort. The brand is nearly dead as a result, but not quite dead because of him. Its hard exactly what to think of him. But whatever, that's over now, and I expect TannenBell to have their full effort behind the team. I guess you just can't sink the good ship Argonauts!

    Well said TC. This is truly a great event in Argo history and a defining moment for the entire league. Toronto has been the weak link in the CFL but that's old news now. The sky is the limit for the CFL with the Argos soon matching other franchises in fan support, sponsorships and merchandise sales...which had sagged over the past few seasons.

    Due to Rogers snobbery and selfishness they will miss out on the Argos ascension, missing out on the $10M+ Grey Cup windfall next year and the exponential increase in Argo franchise value.

    Tannenbaum and Bell should make there money back within a few weeks with season ticket packages flying off the shelves for the farewell season at Skydome. Fans buying ST this year will reserve their pick of the choice seats at BMO along with the Grey Cup game in 2016. I believe there is so much pent-up demand for Argo products in this market, it will be amazing!

    The Argos. Toronto's Football Team since 1873.

    can wait to be Back at the Ex.
    My dad told me so many stories of games there.

    Good news is next year the fans will be covered but the field/game won't

    Still not going to be 100 per cent satisfied until the announcement is officially made. Who knows what curveballs may come.

    I love this team. It manages to achieve victory in hilariously absurd ways both on and off the field. Against all odds, they stumble to greatness time and time again while I continue to lose years off my life from all the heart problems I've acquired watching them.

    I hope for a rebirth of Canadian Football in Toronto. I hope the propaganda machine that is Bell Media can make it happen.
