We already have a white elephant...........it's called Copps Coliseum.......has anyone taken a close look at the exterior of that structure and all the burnt out lighting.......why build new anywhere when we can't even maintain what we have? I doubt that Copps has the economic spin-offs that it was supposed to have. Most people simply come downtown, park, watch the event and then leave. Very similar to the casino in Brantford. We need to create an environment where people will stay and explore. I've never seen any advertising for other venues, ie restaurants, shopping, bayfront park (just a short walk away) etc at any of the event buildings......Copps, Hamilton Place, Convention Centre. The visitors don't know that anything else exists outside of those walls.
