York's cheerleaders, dance squad and Lions mascots took to the stage at 11:30 a.m. and performed their routine through until the arrival of the Argos.
York’s Keele campus is the future home of the Toronto Argonauts – featuring a new 25,000-seat stadium, due to be completed in time for the Argonauts 2006 season. (For more on the stadium story, click here.)
