The Bombers just announced we get an extra regular season home game next year (2026 season).
The Argos "home game" against the Bombers is going to be played in Winnipeg due to the Fifa world cup.
Cute.

This will be the loudest Argo home game ever.
The game will be added to season ticket member / Bomber for Lifers ticket packages but you have the option to opt out.
The Argos will also play extra home games in Regina and Hamilton.

It might even be a sellout!

How the Argos stay afloat is a mystery, team loses 3 home games and nobody much cares.
This is super awesome.

Argos fans on-line do seem to care as they are upset about the decision.
It's Rogers that doesn't care about the Argos fans by choosing the easy alternative and prolly the most profitable one as well.

There has to be another football stadium in the GTA that can accommodate 5000 fans, even playing in Guelph or Waterloo would be a better option.

Yeah, but they make more money with 30k Bomber fans.
I wonder if they will have the teams switch side lines for the game as well.
It would be cool to have the Bombers on the East side for once.

I've heard they split the gate but would like to know the formula they use, that is probably were revenue sharing comes into play.
Argonauts, Lions to play home games on the road during World Cup - TSN.ca (https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/toronto-argonauts-b-c-lions-to-play-home-games-on-the-road-during-world-cup-1.2346367)
Sounds fun
I think the CFL has finally figured out how to solve the Argo attendance problems...just play their home games in any "visiting" team's stadium with great attendance. I'm happy for the extra game and hope we get one from the Lions as well.

Not likely, the Lions will play 2 home games away from BC Place and they will probably be played elsewhere in BC.
Here's the Lions discussion thread:

Wow, this is so unfair to TOR. Their "home game crowd" will be booing them and creating noise chaos.
Even though it wouldn't sell, the only fair solution from a crowd noise standpoint is TOR vs someone-not-named-WPG. It should be an East team. However, to make it extra fair to TOR it should be TOR v SSK! Then TOR would have their best crowd noise advantage ever!
I understand TOR v WPG is best from a financial standpoint (could sell out), but if I was the TOR team I'd be really angry right about now.

And TOR gets the home locker room!
Talk about chaos and anger!
