Hamilton Tiger-Cats News Release


HAMILTON - The Hamilton Tiger-Cats announced today that due to construction delays at Tim Hortons Field, the team will host its first two home games - July 26 vs. Ottawa and July 31 vs. Winnipeg - at McMaster University's Ron Joyce Stadium.

"Today's meeting with Toronto 2015, Infrastructure Ontario, ONSS and the City of Hamilton has made it clear that it would not be possible to safely deliver a game experience that would meet our standards within the current timeframe. As a result, we will now host our first two home games at Ron Joyce Stadium. After holding our home pre-season game on campus last month, we know that we can deliver an outstanding entertainment experience at McMaster. In the coming weeks, we will have greater certainty regarding our August 16 game, but the builders remain adamant that Tim Hortons Field will be ready no later than Labour Day," said CEO Scott Mitchell.

"While we are disappointed our fans will have to wait to visit our incredible new stadium, we know the world-class experience provided at Tim Hortons Field will exceed everyone's expectations when it is complete."

Fans that have purchased tickets to these games will be issued a credit or refund for the full value of each game. Details about the games at McMaster will be released tomorrow.
