October 17, 2015: Calgary Stampeders vs. Toronto Argonauts

Given that at least some of us will be clustered together for the first time in Sec. 115, I am choosing to view this as a celebration -- a game being played privately for the viewing enjoyment of a select group of Argo fans. For the record, I will be sitting in row 20, seats 16 and 17 if anyone wants to say hello. Bringing my dad as my usual ST partner, my daughter, is under the weather.

This is a good view to take ([edit] cooperate weather). I'd certainly have gone to this game too, except for a commitment elsewhere.

I will be in row 10, seats 3 and 4. They offered me row 1, but I didn't want to sit that low. I prefer to be higher up to see the plays. Looks like it will get pretty cold and wet during the game. I am going well prepared, heavy coats, several layers, gloves, fur hat and a rain poncho. Don't forget the rain poncho !!

You know the irony of all this is that the Argos have been the hated foes of Cats fans for over a century and yet when the Argos show up there tomorrow, Caretaker Bob will treat them a hundred times better than those shifty f$&kers Rogers.

Bob Young gets it. He understands how a rivalry works. You can hate the team, but respect the franchise and do what you can to help in difficult times. Unfortunately, over on the Tiger-Cat form, most of the posters don't seem to understand that, and that the two go hand in hand and offer every bit of ill will they can to the Argos situation. The Ticats are my second favourite team (never got into the rivalry) but I do have problems liking a lot of their fan base.

Wish I could go today, but I have to work. Have fun and be loud everyone.

I would like to echo these excellent sentiments, too! Well put, Paul. I will be in Sec. 115, Row 5, Seats 29 and 30. It would be a pleasure to meet more Argo fans, and in particular, fellow Forum members. I might add that this occasion could also be considered symbolic of solidarity in support for our Argos, and looking ahead, perhaps the start of a tradition for the rest of the season and moving forward into BMO next year.

I am imagining the Argo players acknowledging our support today, turning en masse in our direction and raising their helmets in salute! Wouldn't it be marvelous if it happens on the heels of another great victory in the face of adversity.

Hope to make some new acquaintances today. Go Argos!!!!!

Johno27, Great idea! Argos players should recognize the hardcore fans somehow at this game. We're in the same boat. Band together and get through this!

We sat right behind the team in the direct sunshine? I am pretty sure we set a record of water bottle consumption that day. Free shades provided!
