The Toronto Argonauts are returning to Guelph.

The CFL team has decided to hold their training camp at the University of Guelph. Camp will start Wednesday, May 25th.

“Our decision to host training camp at the University of Guelph was based on our belief that this facility is best for our football team’s preparation for the upcoming season,” said Jim Barker, Argonauts General Manager. “Alumni Stadium has an excellent football field and all of the other necessary facilities we need to be successful. We couldn’t be more excited about heading to Guelph later this Spring.”

But the Argos called Alumni Stadium, where the OUA’s Guelph Gryphons play, home during training camp through much of the 1980s and ’90s.

The staging of training camp in Guelph will mark yet another return for the Argos in 2016.

The CFL team will play its home games this season at a refurbished BMO Field on the CNE grounds.
