Think you could hit a field goal with $5000 on the line?
The Tiger-Cats are going to give you a chance.
Make sure you arrive early to the Labour Day Classic at Ivor Wynne Stadium and stop by the Pepsi pre-game party area (located on the northwest corner of the stadium) between 5:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. and fill out a contest ballot.
One lucky winner will have their name selected to attempt a field goal at halftime of the Ticats September 6 game against the B.C. Lions. The winner will be announced during the Labour Day Classic.
After filling out your ballot, stop by the Labour Day Classic autograph table (also conveniently located in the Pepsi pre-game party area) featuring former Ticats who have suited up for several Labour Day Classics; Joe Montford, Troy Davis, Mike Morreale and more!
