Next Game
@
Toronto – As Canadians celebrate Canada Day,
the Toronto Argonauts are busy preparing for their home opener presented by Pizza
Pizza this Thursday, July 3 at 7:00 p.m. against the Hamilton
Tiger-Cats. After defeating the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the season
opener on Friday, the Argos
are looking to solidify their first place hold in the East. The team is
currently on an 8-game regular season winning streak, tied for the third
longest in club history.
The fun at Rogers
Centre begins at 5:00 p.m. with the Nissan Tailgate Party, featuring
music, food, beverages and the 2008 Argos
cheerleaders, in the Bremner St.
parking lot. Families should visit the Generation A Zone outside
of Gate 11 which includes the RONA Football Interactive Inflatable, 6000
square feet of space for fans of all ages to test their football skills.
Fans
should be in their seats early to see the once-in-a-lifetime tributes to
legendary Argos
quarterbacks Joe Krol and Damon Allen. As well, Tobin
Haas, a SickKids patient ambassador, will be the honourary tee collector
for P/K Mike Vanderjagt. Coin toss duties will be handled by Argos
Cheerleader Haylie who just won Miss CHIN Bikini title over the
weekend. An in-game tribute will remember Toronto
Sun writer George Gross and Argos PA announcer Marc
Chambers who are both greatly missed by the Argos family.
With the new
stadium configuration, less than 2,500 seats remain for the home opener!!!
Fans are encouraged to act now to secure their tickets and avoid
disappointment.
Following the
game, Boatmen supporters can head down to get some autographs during See You
on the Field. After that, the new home of the Argos’ official post game party is Jack
Astor’s, 144 Front Street West.
Following each home game, the party will feature live music, drink specials and
the opportunity to meet your favourite Argos
players and cheerleaders.
