BOB NICHOLSON

It was great seeing so many of you at the Grey Cup festivities in Calgary.  Several of you asked me to clarify what is happening with a potential move of the Toronto Argonauts to BMO Field, as recently reported in the media.  I wanted to send you a note to keep you informed about these reports.

We at the Toronto Argonauts are preparing to play at Rogers Centre in 2010.  By now, our season tickets holders have received renewal notices for their seats at Rogers Centre.  At the same time, we are working with the CFL to conduct a feasibility study to see if it is even possible to play our game at BMO Field.  This review will take place during the next month.  We at the Argos will immediately advise our fans of any plans as they arise but at this time, there has been no decision to relocate.

Our ownership is committed to putting the best product on the field and delivering the best gameday experience for our fans.  The feasibility study at BMO Field will help us determine if our fan experience can be enhanced with better sight-lines, closer proximity to the field and a more intimate facility, while upholding the standards of our League.

While a move in time for the 2010 season is far from certain, any season ticket holder who renews their seat at Rogers Centre would have the option of a refund if the team moves to BMO Field.  Again, this is all speculative until the feasibility study is complete.  We will continue to act in the best interests of our amazing fans, the CFL game and our franchise.

All the best to your and yours in this holiday season.

Sincerely,


Bob Nicholson
