A Letter to the Fans from Argos New President & CEO Michael Copeland

Rendering of Argos at BMO Field in 2016

To Argonauts fans and ticket holders,

My name is Michael Copeland, and I am the incoming President & C.E.O. of your Toronto Argonauts.  This is my first official correspondence to you, our season ticket holders and most loyal fans, and I’m thrilled to have this privilege.  You, and our Argonauts team, persevered through a year like no other in 2015.  Many lay claim to being the best fans in sports, but none have been asked to prove it like you have.  On behalf of the new Argonauts organization, we enthusiastically thank you.  We are now ready to enter a new era of Argonauts football in Toronto.  2016 will be a landmark year for our franchise, one in which we will put our team, and our fans, back at the centre of the city’s sports landscape.

2016 Argos Season Tickets

Our first priority is to have you pick your seats at our fantastic new home, BMO Field.  In the off-season, BMO Field will be renovated to accommodate football, and add a canopy roof above the seats. The construction design phase for these improvements is nearly complete, and we anticipate that the final seating chart will be available very early in the new year.  Once this is ready, we will invite you to explore the new seating options and pick your seats.  Priority will be given to season ticket holders who have held their accounts the longest.  And I assure you, your tickets will be fairly and reasonably priced.  We are still accepting $50 deposits for 2016 season tickets, which also give you the right to purchase tickets to the 104th Grey Cup in Toronto next year.  If you have already made your commitment to us for 2016, thank you.  You have already taken the first step toward something very special.  If you haven’t, I encourage you to visit ArgosatBMOField.ca to make your deposit today and get back on board with us.  We really want you to be a part of it.  You, more than anyone else, deserve to share in the amazing things that are just around the corner.

In 2016, we will reinvent game day.  Our game experience, from beginning to end, will be exciting and new.   Our team is set up for a great year on the field, one that we’re laser focused on ending with us hoisting the Grey Cup again on our home field.  We will reinforce our leadership position in the community.  We have a strong, stable and committed new ownership group.  Our fans, young and old, will be proud to wear the “A”.

Thanks for being a fan.  An Argos fan.  Our entire team is committed to making 2016 truly remarkable.  And that will be just the beginning.

I hope to see you at BMO Field in June.

Best Regards,
 
Michael Copeland
