TORONTO – For the first time since 2007, football fans in Toronto get a chance to cheer on their boys in Double Blue at home in the post-season! The Toronto Argonauts will take on the Edmonton Eskimos in the Eastern Semi-Final this Sunday, November 11 at 1:00 p.m. at Rogers Centre.
It’s the club’s next step in their march to the 100thGrey Cup game to be held right here in Toronto.
In an offer that is only available to those in the stands at this weekend’s Eastern Semi-Final game between the Toronto Argonauts and Edmonton Eskimos at Rogers Centre, 100 fans will have an opportunity to volunteer to be on the field during the epic SIRIUS XM Halftime Show at the 100th Grey Cup game! Only those in the stadium for the Eastern Semi-Final can register to be selected for one of 100 volunteer spots on the field during halftime of the 100th Grey Cup Championship to witness star performances by Justin Bieber, Carly Rae Jepsen, Marianas Trench and Gordon Lightfoot in person on November 25! Those who volunteer do not need a ticket to the 100th Grey Cup and are invited to register for their chance at section 117, on the concourse, throughout the Argos’ home playoff game to take advantage of this exclusive opportunity.
In honour of the men and women who have served our country, the Toronto Argonauts will ask fans to pause and observe a moment of silence before kickoff on Sunday afternoon. Members of Veterans Affairs Canada will be on-hand and a ceremonial Guard of Honour will stand proud as The Last Post and The Rouse are played in-stadium.
Playoff excitement will reach a fever pitch at the Argos’ Official Pre-Game Party at Shoeless Joe’s Sports Grill at 276 King St. W.! The party begins at 11:00 a.m. so get there early for some great food and beverage deals before heading to the stadium. Fans should make their way back to Shoeless Joe’s after the final whistle to celebrate a season-long tradition at the Argos’ Official Post Game! There, they can join the Argos Cheerleaders presented by the Toronto Sun for more fun and great deals!
The ceremonial kickoff on Sunday will feature a special guest celebrity appearance. Halftime at the game will include a special surprise musical performance as well as young rap artist and songwriter, Lil Jaxe! The 13-year old sensation from Toronto actually has a stutter when he speaks, but when he raps he is able to overcome and his natural talent shines through. Lil Jaxe will also be featured during Bullying Prevention Day at the Nissan Family Zone at Yonge-Dunas Square on Tuesday, November 20 during the 100th Grey Cup Festival.
The winner of Sunday’s Eastern Semi-Final will travel to Montreal for the Eastern Final against the Montreal Alouettes on Sunday, November 18 at 1:00 p.m. at Olympic Stadium.
