A pair of teams battling for first place in their respective divisions meet on Saturday as the Stampeders travel east to face the Toronto Argonauts.

Because of uncertainty about the availability of the Argos’ home stadium due to Toronto Blue Jays’ involvement in the Major League Baseball playoffs, the contest has been moved to Hamilton’s Tim Hortons Field. Kickoff is at 2 p.m. MDT.

Calgary is 11-4 and tied with Edmonton at the top of the West Division while the Argos are 9-5 and share first place in the East with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

The Stamps dropped a 15-11 decision to the Eskimos last week while the Argos played twice in Week 16 and won both contests — a 38-35 decision against Ottawa on Oct. 6 and a 25-17 victory in Montreal on Thanksgiving Monday.

This is the second meeting of the season between the Stamps and the Boatmen as Calgary posted a 25-20 victory at McMahon Stadium on July 13.

The Stamps have won four of their past five road games and are 5-2 against East Division teams.
