The Argonauts finished with a 10–8 record, but lost the East-Semi Final to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. The Argonauts spent much of the 2015 season as a traveling team due to a litany of schedule conflicts between the 2015 Pan American Games and the 2015 Toronto Blue Jays season; in the latter case, the Argonauts' attempt to backload their schedule with home games backfired when the Blue Jays unexpectedly made the playoffs and advanced to the American League Championship Series, forcing last-minute relocations for the Argonauts as the Blue Jays held priority on use of the Rogers Centre. For the third consecutive season, the Argonauts' home pre-season game was played at the University of Toronto's Varsity Stadium.http://www.argonauts.ca/article/toronto-argonauts-announce-2015-game-schedule Toronto Argonauts announce 2015 game schedule 2015-02-14 https://web.archive.org/web/20150214100058/http://www.argonauts.ca/article/toronto-argonauts-announce-2015-game-schedule 2015-02-14 dead The team played their regular season opener at SMS Equipment Stadium in Fort McMurray as the designated home team against the Edmonton Eskimos.No joke, CFL schedule takes turn for bizarre in 2015 This made the Argonauts the first CFL franchise to host regular season games in three different provinces (including New Brunswick for Touchdown Atlantic in 2010). In effect, the Argonauts played on the road for their first five games, with their home opener coming in week 7 against the Saskatchewan Roughriders, playing only 5 games in their host market during the regular season.   The team later had to shift their October 6 home game against Ottawa to TD Place Stadium, home of the Redblacks,http://argonauts.ca/article/october-6-game-moved-to-ottawa OCTOBER 6 GAME MOVED TO OTTAWA 2015-09-16 2015-09-27 Toronto Argonauts https://web.archive.org/web/20150929163326/http://www.argonauts.ca/article/october-6-game-moved-to-ottawa 2015-09-29 dead and their October 17 and 23 home games were moved to Tim Hortons Field in Hamilton.http://cfl.ca/article/argonauts-release-statement-regarding-oct-17-home-game Argonauts release statement regarding Oct. 17 home game 2015-10-13 https://web.archive.org/web/20151009111214/http://www.cfl.ca/article/argonauts-release-statement-regarding-oct-17-home-game 2015-10-09 dead If the Jays had advanced to the 2015 World Series, further Argonauts home games would have had to be relocated. The Argos did not fare well in the Hamilton "home" games; they lost both contests (knocking them out of contention to win the East division) and drew a combined attendance of 7,142. The November 6 contest against Winnipeg (which drew 17,511) was their last game at Rogers Centre. Renovations to BMO Field were completed in time for the Argonauts to relocate to their new venue for the 2016 CFL season. Offseason CFL draft The 2015 CFL draft took place on May 12, 2015. The Argonauts had seven selections in the seven-round draft. They traded their sixth-round pick for Dwight Anderson and received a seventh-round pick for Josh Portis.http://cfl.ca/article/argos-acquire-dwight-anderson-in-trade-with-riders Argos acquire Dwight Anderson in trade with Riders 2015-05-24 https://web.archive.org/web/20140710040758/http://www.cfl.ca/article/argos-acquire-dwight-anderson-in-trade-with-riders 2014-07-10 dead Blue Bombers pick up backup QB Portis in trade with Argos Round Pick Player Position School/Club team 1 3 Sean McEwen OL Calgary 2 12 Daryl Waud DL Western 3 21 Cameron Walker DL Guelph 4 30 Matt Norzil WR Laval 5 39 Dillon Campbell RB Wilfrid Laurier 7 55 Kevin Bradfield WR Toronto 7 56 Dan MacDonald LS Guelph Preseason Week Date Kickoff Opponent Results TV Venue Attendance Summary Score Record A ByeB Tues, June 9 7:30 p.m. EDT vs. Winnipeg Blue Bombers L 27–34 0–1 None Varsity Stadium 5,000 RecapC Thurs, June 18 7:30 p.m. EDT at Montreal Alouettes W 30–10 1–1 TSN2/RDS Molson Stadium 16,325 Recap http://cfl.ca/schedule/year/2015/7 2015 Schedule 2015-02-14 https://web.archive.org/web/20150214002533/http://cfl.ca/schedule/year/2015/7 2015-02-14 dead white # #002147 Games played with white uniforms.
