Hut! Hut! There is a TON of momentum headin into this season! The Argos have amped up their pre-game party, and we can’t wait to join the fun this Thursday before the Argos and Ticats duke it out on BMO Field for the 2016 season opener!

Ready for some fierce football fun? Here are three ways to get your game on this Thursday:

  1. Tailgaiting

Tailgating has come to Toronto, and we can’t wait to join in for some pre-game fun! The Argos newly licensed area at Ontario Place Lot #1 will be THE place to huddle before heading to BMO Field. BBQ, $4 cold beers, and plenty of space to toss around a football with friends and fellow fans. Get into it. Full list of rules and fun activities in the tailgating area is HERE.

  1. The Shipyard

The Argos have announced the opening of The Shipyard, acres of licensed patio for a fun place to socialize before the game. Work–>Shipyard—>Snacks—>Drinks–>Game: How you do this Thursday, people.

  1. Join the SiriusXM Kickoff Show and DANCE

Yep! Starting at 4:30pm, Kardinal Offishall will be hitting the stage at The Shipyard for the SiriusXM Kickoff Show! Annnd stick around because at 5:30pm, The Strumbellas will be performing! Juno-Award winning artists in one amazing intimate venue! Before we get our cheer on, we’ll be shakin’ it in The Shipyard.

After six seasons with the Argos, receiver/returner Chad Owens (affectionately known as the Flyin’ Hawaiian) has jumped to the Tiger-Cats, but our beloved quarterback Ricky Ray is BACK; you know it’s going to be an intense game. We can’t wait to see the action unfold.

Share your pics & follow along with @CFL (Twitter), @cfl_official (IG), cfl_official (Snapchat). Don’t forget to use the hashtags #CFLKickoff and #CFLGameDay.

Can’t make it down? Tune in! The game will be available on TSN, TSN GO, SiriusXM, and local radio partners TSN 1050 (Toronto) and TSN 1150 (Hamilton).

Now are you as excited as we are? SO EXCITED!
