HALIFAX — The Toronto Argonauts and Saskatchewan Roughriders will play a regular-season game in Halifax this summer.
The CFL announced Thursday the Argos and Roughriders will meet July 25 at Huskies Stadium at Saint Mary’s University.
It will mark the first CFL regular-season game played at Saint Mary’s. The league staged an exhibition contest there in 2005.
According to the CFL, roughly 6,000 temporary seats will be installed at the facility to increase capacity for the game to 10,000.
The previous four Touchdown Atlantic games were held in Moncton, N.B. Last year, the Montreal Alouettes defeated Toronto 28-22 before 10,126 spectators at Croix-Bleue Medavie Stadium.
Schooners Sports and Entertainment (SSE), a group trying to secure a CFL expansion franchise for Halifax, is again sponsoring the game. The organization did so last year also.
