Who is going? Who is trading in their tickets?
I think this is a missed advertising opportunity. Why not market it as "let's invade Hamilton!" instead of "where are your papers?"

Missed Opportunity should replace Pull Together as the new team motto. Your great suggestion would be so easy to pull off and it wouldn’t cost them an extra penny. But it would require someone, ANYONE, in the organization to REALLY care about building the loyal fan base.
What would it have cost them to call a travel agent and put together a limited number of travel packages for the “home” games in Calgary, Regina and Winnipeg? At a time when so many Canadians are looking to travel in Canada instead of the States, it seems like negligence to do absolutely nothing for the fans for these “home” games.

MLSE is cutting costs so don’t hold your breath that they will invest anything into promoting the Argonauts.
As an aside Keith Pelley has found new ways to generate revenue from Toronto sports fans who continually feed into this organization’s greed.

I guess the Leafs have no problem finding someone stupid enough to pay that.

That’s the problem, until fans say enough of the greedy BS they will continue with this type of thing.

This is utterly disgraceful. How does Keith Pelley look at himself in the mirror when he goes to brush his teeth at night?

To further your point, I was three sheets to the wind when I came up with that suggestion.
You know who on here would be the perfect candidate for member communication? Scooter. Nobody hypes a game or an event like him.

To quote Austin Powers...I used to think you were crazy, but now, I see your nuts.
I'm honored to be considered. And don't tell Keith Pelley or the denmother, but I'd do it for free.
There may not be alot of Argo fans, but there are certainly enough of them, and enough of them with skills (since we are all older) that if utilized in the right way could advance the fortunes of this team. Simply because we give a damn.
