ARGOS TO HOST 2018 TOWNHALL ON THURSDAY, MAY 31

TORONTO 

WHAT: In anticipation for the upcoming season, the Toronto Argonauts Football Club will host a media and fan event this Thursday. The event will also include a Townhall hosted by Argonauts alumnus, Pinball Clemons, and a presentation by Bill Manning, Argonauts President and Jim Popp, Argonauts General Manager, which will be moderated by TSN’s Derek Taylor.

Fans attending will also get a glimpse of what the new game experience will entail. The pre-game Rally at The Shipyard presented by Budweiser will unite all Argonauts fans together every game day, at the Stanley Barracks in Exhibition Place, to start cheering on the Double Blue, and take a part in a variety of football experiences, giveaways and other partner activations.             

Hundreds of fans attending on Thursday will have the opportunity to try out the Bell Photo Booth, the Coleman Corner Experience and more. There will be special guests, a live DJ and a presentation from a live marching band.
