Toronto Argonauts host pregame Rally at the Shipyard ahead of CFL home opener

WHAT: Fresh off winning the 105th Grey Cup in November, the Toronto Argonauts return to BMO Field Saturday evening for their 2018 CFL season home opener. The Argos face the Calgary Stampeders in a rematch of last year’s Grey Cup final.

Prior to kick-off, fans are invited to attend the Rally at the Shipyard presented by Budweiser at the Stanley Barracks in Exhibition Place. The first 6,000 fans in attendance at the Shipyard will receive a replica Toronto Argonauts Grey Cup championship ring. All fans will have an opportunity to get a photo taken with the Grey Cup. Pregame festivities will also include a Chalk Talk with General Manager Jim Popp, appearances from Argos alumni, Jason the Argo and Argos Cheer, football experiences, giveaways and music along with a March to the Game led by Burlington Teen Tour Band.
