Admission to the Canadian National Exhibition will be free this year if you purchase tickets to Toronto Argonauts games.

The CFL club said the offer is valid for games on Aug. 20 and Aug. 31.

“I remember as a kid coming down to the CNE and catching an Argos game at Exhibition Stadium and having a blast,” Argonauts’ President and CEO Michael Copeland said in a media release.

The Argos (4-3) will take on the Edmonton Eskimos (3-4) on Saturday with kickoff at 4 p.m. at BMO Field.

The team moved to their new home at Exhibition Place for the 2016 season which has reinvigorated new life into the franchise with fan friendly events such as tailgating parties.
