We wanted to provide you an update on the latest status of the Labour Day Classic at Tim Hortons Field on Monday, September 1.
ONSS, the builders of the new Stadium, continue to work diligently to meet the occupancy permit requirements to host the Labour Day Classic. The building inspection process is ongoing and will be completed later this week. The final decision will be made by the City of Hamilton and public safety is the main priority.
Given the significance of the Labour Day Classic to our fans, partners, team and our community, the Tiger-Cats are committed to pursuing all possible options within our control to ensure the game is played at Tim Hortons Field on Monday. Should an occupancy permit be granted, the Ticats organization is focused on delivering the best fan experience possible. We will communicate specific details about the stadium experience in the coming days.
