Anything from the stadium is not available on those dates to insufficient seating capacity (yes, even for an Argos game!) to not-broadcast-ready to insufficient washrooms and concessions.
The middle two could be alleviated with temporary seating and added broadcast lighting, etc., but the costs would likely be prohibitive for 1 or 2 games.
THF, of course, is ready to go in all areas.

The Argos won't even get the luxury of using the home teams locker room.
[i]The Argos will use the football visitors' locker-room for any games they play in Hamilton and the Stampeders and Alouettes would use dressing rooms that were in play for the Pan-Am Games soccer tournament.
Ticket information is available by calling 416-341-ARGO(2746) [/i]
Thanks. Hey, if the stadium’s not available, it’s not available. But all the other stuff sound like ‘work arounds.’ The optics to the casual CDN sports fan would look a heck of a lot better with a full small stadium than another team’s almost empty stadium.
This has moved past ridiculous. The Argos are a proud club that deserves better.
The Ti-Cats dressing room is still going to be used for practice by the Cats the entire week. Besides, I wouldn’t want Argo players stepping on the logo.
awesome! we don’t want no fleas
Of course they do, and next year they will. They just have to get through this year first.
Screw the Dome. The way that they have INSULTED the Argos and the entire CFL for years, screw them period.
Jays can lose bad and the Argos can play in Hamilton and leave that place empty.
Big middle finger back at ya.
Meh.
I wouldn’t let the Argos use the home dressing room if I was the Cats either.
Sounds like the Als and Stamps get the worst of this imo.
You’d be lucky to have our fleas!!!
:lol:Wait, do you think those fleas could buy tickets and fill up the stands?
Hmm…
New Argo helmet for when they play at THF 
Get your tickets for Skydome.. Bring a broom to rub it in those mothereffers faces
I think the Jays celebrated too early and Texas wasn't invited? The Argo's will be back home shortly to play at the Rogers Centre unless they get bumped this time by Disney On Ice or the Barney Show??
GO CATS GO!!!
Even though this will be over on Sunday, I hope the Argos do not return.
It would suit me for the entire year if they continue to play as carpet beggars and frankly win all of the so called “home games”.
Blow Jays can kiss my ass
If the Jays lose this series, do the Argos play at home for BOTH games?
If they don’t that is a bigger joke than allowing Ottawa to buy a home game; and that was the stupidest thing I’ve seen in years.
Why is it a big joke and stupid?
It didn’t bother the Argos, they played in front of a lot less empty seats than in the Rogers Centre. It’s a lame duck season let them play the remaining couple of games on the road. If they get to host a playoff game, play it in Ottawa or Hamilton dont go back to the Rogers Centre.
Agreed on Hamilton. I suspect they would’ve been better off booking all their 2015 games for THF once the move to BMO was confirmed. At least there would’ve been a novelty factor to attract some western GTA Argo fans out to Hamilton for this year.
That the Argos won doesn’t change whether the decision was right or wrong.
IMO it was VERY wrong. It is bad enough for a team to lose home field advantage (to whatever degree it is at Skydive) but for a league to allow their opponent to buy home field advantage is not professional. If an event at the ACC severely damaged the concrete pad and freezing tubes/pipes two days before a season ending game against the Habs, with the Leafs fighting for a playoff spot would the NHL allow the Habs to buy the game? Doubt it.
