It’s a long-shot, but consider this: If the Blue Jays make the playoffs, the Argos could be kicked out of the Rogers Centre for a few home games.

The Argonauts have an unusual number of games in October — four — so if the Jays win the division or gain a wild-card spot, there are potential schedule conflicts with the CFL.

Under the Argos’ lease agreement with the Rogers Centre, which expires at the end of the 2017 CFL season, the Jays have priority in selecting dates.

Argonauts CEO Chris Rudge is working with the baseball team on contingency plans and with the CFL on a range of options.

“There are multiple permutations and combinations that we have to look at,” Rudge said. “It’s an ongoing process and we don’t have any answers at this time. I don’t think there’s anything we won’t consider right now.”

The best-case scenario would be minor, moving an Argo game to another night of the week.

The Argos host the Edmonton Eskimos on Saturday, Oct. 4 (4 p.m.), the Hamilton Ticats on Friday, Oct. 10 (7 p.m.), the Montreal Alouettes on Saturday, Oct. 18 (4 p.m.) and the Ticats again on Saturday, Oct. 25 at 4 p.m.

The Argos played a home pre-season game at Varsity Stadium this season.

However, Varsity was ruled out because temporary stands cannot be erected on the opposite sideline to expand capacity beyond 6,000 due to the position of the internationally certified track.

The Argos have investigated BMO Field, where Toronto FC plays, but that is unsuitable because the field and end zones are too short.

A worst-case scenario is that the Argos could be forced to play a “home” game on the road.

Another possibility is the Argos could play at the new Tim Hortons Field in Hamilton if a revenue-sharing agreement could be reached.

“I’m not saying we’ve talked to anybody about this,” Rudge said. “These are sky-blue thoughts.”

There are a number of fields in the GTA with regulation size football fields such as St. Michael’s College and York University. There is a field at Centennial Park in Etobicoke, but there are no locker facilities there.

The biggest capacity in Toronto other than the Rogers Centre and BMO Field is probably Varsity with only 6,000 seats.

When the Blue Jays won back-to-back World Series titles in 1992 and 1993, there was no conflict with the Argos because they were on the road when the Argos played a home game.

The Argos could be excused for feeling like nomads.

They pulled up stakes at the beginning of the season and moved out of the University of Toronto’s Mississauga campus after 18 years to relocate at York University for training camp and for practices.

However, the York University Lions are about to prepare for their season and the Argos were forced to move their practices again.

This week, the Argos have relocated to the Rogers Centre temporarily as they prepare for a home game against the B.C. Lions on Sunday.

The Argos are on the move again on Aug. 22 when their new their training facility is expected to be ready at Downsview Park.

This relocation was made possible because of a new partnership with Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, the owner of the Toronto FC soccer team, which trains in an adjacent facility at the KIA Training Ground.

“We’re in a tough situation,” Rudge said, “but we don’t want people feeling sorry for us. We’re big boys.”

Whatever happens, one thing Rudge wants to make clear — he doesn’t wish any bad luck for the Blue Jays.

“I don’t want to be accused of having any degree of schadenfreude,” Rudge said. “Because at the end of the day I’m a huge Blue Jays fan and I like the relationship we have with the Rogers Centre management and leadership.

“This city is stronger when our sports teams win.”
