Tiger-Cats to play first 4 games on the road due to Pan Am Games
Ticats return to Tim Horton's Field on August 3 to host the Argos.
The CFL released its 2015 schedule on Friday, and what was expected to be a messy timetable because of the Pan American Games and the FIFA Women's World Cup still delivered some surprises.
The Hamilton Tiger-Cats will play their first four games on the road, returning to Tim Horton's Field on Aug. 3 to host the Argos.
Several other CFL clubs are impacted by the Pan Am Games, but none more so than the Argos, who burn a home date hosting the Edmonton Eskimos at Shell Place in Fort McMurray, Alta., in the season opener for both teams on June 27.
The Eskimos need to vacate Commonwealth Stadium that day because of a pair of World Cup quarter-final matches.
After the Argos play their opener in what is sure to be a hostile environment, they play four more games on the road as southern Ontario hosts the Pan Am Games before finally returning home to host the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Aug. 8.
