Coming to the Eastern Final? Come party with us in Toronto before the game!
Starting at 11 a.m., you're invited to join us at one of THREE pre-game party locations on John St. in Toronto. Each party will be hosted by multiple Ticats Alumnus, with complimentary tailgate snacks provided as well as giveaways and prizes.
At 12:30 p.m. sharp, Ticats fans will spill out onto John St. and TigerTown will march down to the Rogers Centre together. Let's negate the Argos home field advantage.
LOCATIONS:
1. Milestones Grill + Bar | 132 John St. at John and Richmond | Hosted by Rob Hitchcock
2. Jack Astors Bar & Grill | 133 John St. at John and Richmond | Hosted by Dave Hack
3. Boston Pizza | 250 Front St. at Front and John | Hosted by Lee Knight
WHEN: 11 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. (Kick off is at 1 p.m.)
WHAT: A place to meet up with friends and fellow fans. Complimentary tailgate snacks provided as well as a commemorative Ticats rally towel (while supplies last). One lucky fan will also have the chance to win a jersey.
I have been a ST holder for over 35 years and this sort of gesture by the Cats organization is incredible. I'm just sorry I can't be there as well. Good on ya' Bob and Scott.
Ohh man!! I sooooooo wish I could make it to this! Not only for the fun at the gatherings but for what will surely be a great walk from John st. to the Dome. Awesome. Would love to see the faces of the downtowners as the huge mass of Black and Gold noisily passes through. Just awesome!
I know this has been posted elsewhere but it is worth repeating here. If you are picking up tickets at Will Call - pick your tickets up BEFORE going to one of these parties. If you wait until the 12:30PM march to the stadium to pick up your tickets - odds are you will be in line through most if not all of the 1st Quarter before getting in. I'm not kidding - expect lineups of up to an hour or more at Will Call!
I am gonna go to one of the pre-game parties, but there is no way leaving at 12:30 will get you into your Rogers Centre seats by the singing of the National Anthem. I suggest that the group leaves a little earlier than 12:30. I will be.
Another thought .... Get a sponsor and brand it similar to the Sun Life Grey Cup Fan March .... The Tim Horton's Eastern Final Strut ... :lol:
Dam right I'm going, catching the train at Aldershot at 9:50am and getting dropped off at union station at 10:48. My friend is an argo season ticket holder and hes been told by his rep that they're afraid we may have more support than TO. I havent been this pumped for a football game in yrs. How do I get to Hitch's tailgate from union station
Catsin14 - I think all CaptainKirk was trying to point out was that there is not a train at 9:50AM from Aldershot on Sunday.
There is one at 9:04AM that arrives at Union Station at 10:10AM,
The next is at 10:04AM - Arriving at Union Station at 11:10AM
Then 10:34AM from Aldershot arriving at 11:40AM and every 30 minutes after that.
Easy. Easy, Easy, Everybody ... I think everyone is just trying to be helpful ... not trying to be a "know-it-all".
We all want to get downtown when there's a Raptor Game, Santa Parade, 5k Santa Run, ... AND a EDF CFL GAME!
We're just trying to help each other out.
I'll be the first to thank @CaptainKirk for making sure we all have the correct information and are on the same page so as to there are no disappointments.
I agree, i would suggest leaving the parties at Noon, especially the ones on John St. they are further away. There are going to be 40,000 trying to get in all at once ! In addition, Rogers Security search almost everyone !
