(Dan Lauckner/CTV News) For the fifth consecutive season, CFL stars came to the University of Guelph for a preseason matchup. Defending Grey Cup champions, the Toronto Argonauts, took on the Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Alumni Stadium Friday night. The Boatmen brought out the Grey Cup ahead of the match, giving fans a chance to catch a glimpse of the coveted trophy. For years, the game has drawn out the faithful, eager to get a measure of the team before the official start to the season. 'We came last year to this game. [It's] always great to see the team in advance. I love coming here and seeing how the team is looking,' self-proclaimed Argos superfan Matthew McKenzie said. 'I was here last year for this game, and I just came out to root on our Tiger-Cats,' fan Shelle Papin said. 'It's not too far, just right up in Hamilton. So Oskee Wee Wee!' Others said it was the overall excitement that drew them in. 'I was here last year and the year before. It's a wonderful time,' Tayte Azzoparde, a Guelph Jr. Gryphons U18 player, told CTV News. The stands quickly filled up with diehard fans, some sporting the double blue while others came decked out in black and gold. Friday's game comes after the Argos used Alumni Stadium for a training camp and held a special opportunity for elementary students to get in on the action through the 'Huddle Up' program earlier this month.
