Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment (MLSE) President and CEO Keith Pelé explained the process behind the Toronto Argonates behind the process behind playing three “home” games in rival CFL markets when the World Cup captures BMO field in 2026.
“We did a lot, WE spent a lot of time to do research. We saw every possible option: W.E saw Gulef, WE saw Queen, we saw UKT. The best way we thought to do it next year It was put in Hamilton and Vennipag and Suskechewan, ”Pelli said 3downnnation,
“TeaThat is why we do not want to host a game with 5,000 or 7,000 fans, T.The cap was primarily why we decided. We know that we could probably easily get 7,000 or 10,000 in a game, but we did not want to do so and wE did not think it was great for the brand. ,
In 2013, Tiger-Cat played domestic games at Alumni Stadium at Gulef University, while the Hamilton Stadium was built. The team expanded the venue to around 13,000 and attracted the ability to continuously. Argonots have organized training camps every year from 2021 and in the 1980s, during the 1990s and in the previous several times in 2016.
Pelli was asked whether Argonauts saw an alumni stadium in 2026 as a temporary house and whether London and Windsor were also considered.
,Yes of course. We did all that research, we analyzed all thatND we saw it very closely. W.E thought that the best thing for the Argos brand was that we are doing what we are doing. TeaThat Canadian Football League and CFL were one thousand percent behind it,Oh I think we have taken the right decision, ”said Pelé.
The sailor will play an additional game against Suskechewan Rafrier at the Mosaic Stadium, which at Princess Auto Stadium against Vinypeg Blue Bomers, and 2026 against Tiger-Cats at Hamilton Stadium. That arrangement has essentially placed Toronto on the road for 12 games, given double Blue Six Home Games after Double Blue Six Home Games. World Cup BMO finished in field.
“We are taking additional marketing money that we have for sports that have moved forward And we will put those people in six games, so that we can make them possible next yearND is going to focus our focus. TeaThe chicken we will return next year, hopefully even bigger and stronger, ”said Peli.
In the past, CFL has bought games from Argonots for Touchdown Atlantic, to operate completely. Rider, bombers, and tickets are selling an additional “home” game in their season ticket package for the 2026 CFL season, although Peli refused to share whether the other three teams had bought MLSE -related matches.
,Yes, it has been sold in their season ticket package, BThe details between UT Argos and the respective teams are private, obviously, ”said Pelé.
