TORONTO – The Toronto Argonauts Football Club announced today that The University of Guelph will once again play host to the team’s 2024 Training Camp, as well as the Argos final preseason game on May 31st vs. Hamilton at 7:00pm. Tickets for the preseason game are on sale today with all information below.
“This will be our fourth straight year at Guelph, and it truly feels like home” said Head Coach Ryan Dinwiddie. “Everything from the facilities to the accommodations, to the food and the way we are treated is top notch. The University of Guelph gives us every advantage to come together as a team, and we are excited to get going.”
The Argos have held training camp on the Gryphon’s campus every May since 2021, as well as in 2016 and numerous times throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Alumni Stadium has also held preseason games for the Boatmen every year since 2018.
Rookie Camp kicks off May 8th with a three-day rookie camp that includes veteran quarterbacks and first-year CFL players before rosters are cut down to 85 on May 11th. The first practice with veterans goes May 12th and two days later the roster gets trimmed down to the final 75 plus non-counters.
Argos fans of all ages are encouraged to come to Alumni Stadium on the University of Guelph campus to see the Toronto Argonauts up close and personal as they train and prepare for the upcoming CFL season. Some practices may be closed to the public and that information will be shared at least a day in advance each time.
The University of Guelph’s football facilities are world-class, feature the latest technology, and are a perfect fit for Toronto’s training camp. All facilities are centrally located on campus and within short walking distance of each other. Alumni Stadium features state-of-the-art synthetic turf, a newly renovated track, and a brand-new video scoreboard and houses a locker room as nice as any CFL counterpart including breakaway rooms for each position group. Next door to the football field is Gryphon Fieldhouse, which contains an indoor artificial turf field with a 4-lane indoor track, and adjacent to the fieldhouse is a stunning new 25,000 square-foot fitness centre built only a few years ago. On top of spacious and comfortable townhouse-style housing, U of G also boasts the best campus food in Canada according to Maclean’s magazine, so the players will be sleeping soundly and eating well during the three-and-a-half week camp.
The Argos open their preseason slate against Montreal at Percival Molson Stadium on May 25th.
Toronto will host Hamilton at the University of Guelph on May 31st at 7:00 p.m.
