The 100th Grey Cup is being held in Toronto this weekend and the Argonauts are vying for the championship. With the event closing in, the city is getting ready for this memorable weekend.
So far, fans have been making quite the scene in Toronto. According to an article by the National Post, Calgary fans were able to get a horse inside the Royal York this morning.
As well, crowds have gathered at Nathan Phillips Square to play some football and get ready for the game. Musicians such as Karl Wolf will also be performing at the square later this week. As well, the city is transforming the square to match the theme of the event.
