This is a tough one. I have a lot of heart for the West Harbour, and I have no doubt that -- provide some means of remediation -- it will be successful. Stadium or no stadium.

I think we all have to remember that we aren't dealing with an NHL or NFL franchise here. The ability for a CFL franchise -- which is near and dear to a great many people in the country -- isn't any licence to print money. Quite the contrary.

In that regard, I think we have to take Bob Young's word here. He's not in this to make himself wealthier. Because of that, I put much more credibility in his reluctance to develop the West Harbour.

Again, my preference would always be for downtown stadium. I hate the thought of 30,000 people attending an event in Hamilton and having virtually no experience of Hamilton itself. However, I prefer this location to not having a stadium at all.

I don't agree with the location philosophy of the team, but given their commitment to the city, I'll compromise.
