We headed down to the Rogers Centre to watch the Argos take on the Montreal Alouettes. The game was a McMaster Alumni event. We went down with our friends from university Stam and Brenda and their daughter Kira. We met them at Union Station.

Part of our ticket price included an on field “tour” before the game, a pizza slice/drink, and autograph session after the game. By tour they mean the depths of the Skydome, once on the field we were able to walk around the edge and then we entered our seats from the field. The autograph session after the game was open to everyone.

We had a good time at the game. It was good to hang out with Stam and Brenda, we haven’t seen them for awhile. The girls can now say they have been to a football game.
