Toronto Argonauts

Toronto


The Toronto Argonauts crack their Canadian Football League (CFL) helmets at BMO Field at Exhibition Place, off Lake Shore Blvd W. Founded in 1873, the 'Argos' have won the Grey Cup a record 17 times, most recently in 2017 against the Calgary Stampeders. Bring a jacket – BMO Field cools off at night. Get tickets through Ticketmaster (www.ticketmaster.ca) or the team website.
