TORONTO — The Toronto Argonauts announced today that they will play their second pre-season game on Thursday, June 7th at Alumni Stadium Guelph, Ontario when they host the Ottawa REDBLACKS.

The club’s regular home venue, BMO Field, is unavailable during the CFL pre-season due to mandatory scheduled maintenance on the playing surface.

Argos season ticket holders will have the first chance to secure tickets to the preseason game with an exclusive presale opportunity, beginning on Thursday, April 10, prior to general public on-sale at noon on Saturday, April 12. Tickets can be purchased for $20 per adult and $10 per youth/student. Children aged six-and-under will be granted free access to the game.

No stranger to CFL action, Alumni Stadium was the temporary home of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats during the entire 2013 season and for the first half of the 2014 season as the club awaited the completion of Tim Hortons Field.  It also was the backdrop for a playoff game in November of 2013 when the Tiger-Cats hosted the Montreal Alouettes in a game that is now infamous for the windy conditions that impacted the game.
