Tailgating at BMO Field

[Neely2005]

steam whistle has had dealings with the Argonauts before; maybe the new regime wanted a local Pilsner and/or maybe there are financial reasons behind it. I don't know, but instead of complaining; maybe ask the team why they chose the brands they did.

I really hope you're not thinking about what you're subtly implying here. Very quick way to ruin the whole thing for a lot of other people.

Okay but then that totally refutes your point about Pouring Rights / MLSE and BMO Field deals as Steam Whistle isn't served inside BMO Field.

I have asked the Argonauts (more than once) and they haven't responded.

You're picking and choosing what you want from what I've written. Good day to you sir.


BTW Michael Copeland attended the tailgate for awhile (about 45 minutes); you could have spoken to him then.

How so?

Not sure what anyone was expecting in terms of Beer selections ? It usually always comes down to sponsorship and pouring rights deals.

No, but MLSE and BMO Field do.

No they are not, but they are owned by Bell and Tanenbaum who own 2/3's of MLSE. MLSE along with BMO field have relationships and deals in place, so odds are some of those will become involved with the Argonauts as well. Yes, they could of chose whomever they wanted, but they obviously didn't and there's probably a financial reason behind it. Copeland stated during his OVERDRIVE interview that odds were the tailgating would most likely involve the bigger brand name beers and that's what ended up happening. I don't see the issue.

I didn't see him but if I do I will be sure to ask him.

So how do you explain them selling Steam Whistle then?

How so?

INBEV has the pouring rights to BMO; which explains why Bud is sold during the tailgates. I also stated "USUALLY", but I guess you missed that part. I then brought up how Steam Whistle has had dealings with the Argonauts before, so maybe the new regime wanted a local pilsner and as Tbone mentioned you can buy Steam Whistle cans at BMO. So, once again good day to you sir.

Where in BMO Field *This Year* can you buy Steam Whistle?

And in case you missed it I also stated that INBEV doesn't have Pouring Rights at the Ontario Place Parking Lot.

If you don't know specifically where it's sold that's fine, I was simply asking a question. Perhaps I'm misinterpreting but this discussion seems to be frustrating you for no discernable reason.

I'm pretty sure it is, in cans but not at all the stands. I've seen it before.

Don't see it on your list below and I didn't see it served anywhere in the stadium.

Ya, this is as close as you can get to a traditional tailgate while still complying with Ontario liquor laws. BMO Field's beer contract is with ABInBev and here is a list of some of the beers available at BMO Field. I'm not sure if all of those will be available at the tailgate and that is not everything at the stadium. I know Goose Island is also available on draft etc.
