However, if the team does well out of the gate, ownership should go hard on advertising the Home Opener. They have an extra few months to prepare for it. The script writes itself as the road warriors will finally return home after what should be referred to as a revenge tour.

There is no reason not to make a big deal out of it.

I believe that the designated home games against the Bombers and Ticats are July 10 and July 18 respectively. Is an 8 day turnaround to football too much or what is the reason behind the moving of the games to the other cities. I heard that FIFA has requested the use of BMO Field until the end of the competition July 19 but for what reason I do not know.

Why doesn`t the league schedule the Argos vs Bombers for BMO on September 25 or 26 since TFC is out of town that weekend? Or do Rogers want the extra revenue for having their ``home`` game in Winnipeg? When you look at the BC Lions, they have a home game on July 4 but are hosting their final World Cup game on July 7. These facts makes the Argos scheduling seem more dubious.

You answered your own question. All three games will likely yield the Argos more revenue (and less expense) than if they were played at home.

B.C.'s July 4 "home" game is being played in Kelowna.
