In 2009, the Argonauts hosted the biggest faith-based, post-game event in the CFL and one of the largest in professional sport. On November 7, 2009, over 4,000 excited fans were able to walk onto the turf at Rogers Centre after the Argonauts home game. Participants were treated to an unforgettable concert by up-and-coming Christian rock band Life Support and received valuable advice from the Canadian Football Hall of Famer Michael “Pinball” Clemons. Several Argonauts players also attended and were interviewed on stage.
In 2010, the Real Deal promises to be bigger and better! To paraphrase Pinball, “You never stay the same - you get better or you get worse”. We plan on getting better this year and developing an event that you will not want to miss! The Real Deal will take place on Saturday, October 2, with kick off at 3:00 p.m and a post-game concert featuring Building 429.
