If anything, it might hurt them as they'll have less of a presence overall in Toronto because they're not in the heart of the city, thus making even more people consider the Argos as "minor league". I don't think the Argos sell a lot of corporate tickets as it is - but a move to the 'burbs will probably reduce that amount as well.

Well not just suburbs Mississauga and Markham are my top pics and both prefer the idea that there independent cities.
I couldnt forsee either ignoring any sports franchise if it was on their doorstep.
Moving the argos wouldnt literally going to a suburbs either, just not some a youngsters part of toronto. There just to much going on there for the CFL to even be noticed with so few games.
Argos games would have to compete with pride, caribana, TIFF, BJS games, and 100 other things going on downtown.
And its pretty dam hard to get too with a car, near impossible on a big game day or as I like to call it the ANTI TAILGATE party.
So you end up cutting out alot of the potential fan base.
Its not just a matter of number of fans but being in their vicinity.
If you were to contrast downtown with hamiliton there polar opposites demographics wise.
