    TG team is putting together one for us at an upcoming game. Look for the announcement soon. No corporate help here, just a bunch rowdy RPB's looking to get a burger for less than $11 before the game. . . and cooking it themselves!

    To be fair, at least the booze laws are a little looser. Beyond that, it's not a TG I'd want to attend. It's a corporation taking over what is supposed to be a fun, organic way to meet and talk with people and making money off of it. No thanks.

    This has to be one of the cheesiest videos I've seen. And that's coming from someone who occasionally tunes in to WWE ...

    Ugh... had douche chills all through it.

    In all honestly, as long as I go to my TFC games and not know that a football team ran on the pitch a few days before, I hope it works out for them.

    The desperation of Tory and Grimes standing around watching some Argo talking head pretend to know what young people like to do in 2016 might already be my fave double blue moment of the year...
    Sure - pay $30+ for a parking spot, roped in so that you can purchase a beer AND bring your own food....that will make CFL a happening event in the city... the entertainment district will be empty on Argo nights with this scheme in place...

    "From our experience and research, we know that young people in Toronto want to experience things together. It's all about social experiences. It's all about coming together as one. And to be able to do it outside is an incredible opportunity for us as a franchise."

    Nowhere does he mention that young people in Toronto want to experience the Argos.

    It sounds more like he's describing Trinity-Bellwoods on any given day.

    Wow - even at only 2.5 minutes that shit was hard to get through. If I was ever considering going to one before (which I wasn't) that would definitely keep me away from it.

    Why did people have solo cups when they have to buy beverages, also who the hell uses blue solo cups to drink from? Red solo cups or GTFO (and no that statement has nothing to do with TFC vs Argos)

    exactly this.....while their "research" may show that, what it fails to show, or maybe didn't include is that sitting through a 3 hour football game might be a hard sell, especially for example, to a young female population (not making a sexist comment, just a fact that females would probably have less of an understanding of the game) who have no idea what the hell is going on......why sit through a 3 hour game when you can go to any park or patio with your friends and basically do the exact same thing, minus the wasted time to watch the game.....this will fail.....

    football is a difficult sport to understand, so unless you're already into it, getting new people on board is not easy......the deal is much different in the US.....its part of the culture there and boys and girls are brought up on it from a very young age, and exposed to it a lot more in high school, college, etc.....

    Well at least they kept it real and hired a group who look like a typical beer-drinking, football- and tailgate-loving crew.

    $4 for a Coors Light is $6 too much. I'd take a Steamwhistle for free though. I think those are not actors but a dance pack.

    Mind you......not as bad as the Bump It girls who "love the soccah!" from about 5 years ago. Now that was cheesy.

    Well, they definitely weren't good actors.
