    Toronto – The Toronto Argonauts Football Club has issued the following statement following receipt of the CFL’s Feasibility Study on BMO Field:

    “We would like to thank the Board of Governors of the Canadian Football League for authorizing a feasibility study on the potential of BMO Field as a home for the Toronto Argonauts. We accept the study’s main finding that while BMO Field is a fine facility, our unique brand of Canadian football could not be played there in its current state. In particular, extensive field measurements performed by a surveyor have indicated BMO field cannot adequately accommodate our game.

    Our focus is now squarely on providing great game day entertainment in 2010 for our fans at Rogers Centre, a place we have been proud to call home for two decades. It is a first-class facility with state of the art media facilities, locker room facilities and technology. Our season ticket holders remain happy with Rogers Centre and its accessibility to the downtown core, as well as its indoor option in inclement weather. Rogers Centre is able to house our existing fan base and provides opportunity for future growth.

    Our ownership now plans to reflect on its future over the holiday season and does not anticipate any further announcements until the New Year.”

    This was just a ploy by the Argos to get concessions at the Rogers Centre.....i doubt they truly wanted to go to BMO.

    Agreed, time to close this thread.

    The announcement was made today. We will close this thread and any discussion regarding the Argos and BMO Field will continue there.

    I think we can all breathe a sigh of relief...for now.
