Argos not moving to BMO Field

The Toronto Argonauts appear to have given up on BMO Field as a possible new home.

The decision was hastened by a feasibility study initiated by the CFL board of governors on playing football in the soccer stadium.

"We accept the study's main finding that while BMO Field is a fine facility, our unique brand of Canadian football could not be played there in its current state," the Argos said in a statement Wednesday.

"In particular, extensive field measurements performed by a surveyor have indicated BMO field cannot adequately accommodate our game."

The CFL offered no comment on the matter and said it would not be releasing the study.

The Argos said their focus is "now squarely on providing great game-day entertainment in 2010 for our fans at Rogers Centre, a place we have been proud to call home for two decades."

The team called the Rogers Centre "a first-class facility with state of the art media facilities, locker-room facilities and technology."
