In the past, a minor league football franchise in the GTA created the pre-game Argos tunnel. All four levels of football and their parents were sold tickets to that match. Prior to the game, players were in end zone for warm ups. A natural fanbase was tapped. There are enough franchises in the GTA to honour one per game.
We live out in the East. Oshawa Hawkeyes program was created as a developmental team for the Argos in the 1950s and have always worn Double Blue. General Motors originally funded the Oshawa Hawkeyes. Over the years, Argos have come out and practiced or held clinics. Fan Day has been held here. Argos Alumni "Pinball" Clemons, Doug Flutie and Rocket Ismail have participated in the spring.
With the wind no longer to their back, the Argos have to get out into the community and sell tickets. "Huddle Up" is an admirable community event to address self esteem issues in young people. It shouldn't be considered a marketing event to address attendance issues.
