    Hey Paul, remind me if I am wrong, but i always thought that playoff games were hosted by the league not the team unless the Team buys back the right from the league?

    I think that is still the case. Seeing the social media blitz from the front office tells me the Argos probably did buy this game from the league.
    It's us vs the rest of the country

    What's the difference between the league hosting the game and the team buying it?

    Team would keep the profit, if there is one.

    The team is responsible for all ticket sales if they buy the game. IMO, that's why they have been out more marketing this game.

    Possibly, but I don't know how much it would have helped. A playoff win away from making to the Grey Cup, first playoff game ever at BMO are both great selling points. Hopefully, the Argos play great, everybody has a great time, and it helps things for the future. There is still too much negativity from people towards the league in this city. Hoping this will be a big step in helping change that.

    I'll be doing what I can to help change that attitude, since I am moving to Scarborough next month.
