CFL's Argonauts Making Plans For Alternate Venues If Blue Jays Make MLB Postseason

The CFL Toronto Argonauts "are making contingency plans" in case the Blue Jays reach the MLB postseason, as the Argos are "scheduled to play four October home games at Rogers Centre and five of their final six regular-season contests there," according to the CP. An Oct. 6 game against the Ottawa Redblacks "would be the same night" as an AL Wild Card game. Argos Exec Chair & CEO Chris Rudge said that if the Blue Jays reached the World Series, CFL games scheduled for Oct. 17 and Oct. 23 "would also be displaced." The Argos have "reached out to a number of venues to host their affected home games," including "both Calgary and Montreal." Rudge said that Tim Hortons Field, which has a seating capacity of 24,000, "remains the most likely venue." The Argos "move to BMO Field for the start of next season" (CP, 8/18).
