I was born in Hamilton and raised in the area and worked in the downtown core for a number of years. I haven't seen any traffic plans that would demonstrate how people would get to and from the stadium except a positive report about having a GO Station nearby but no plans on actually building it. The majority of people who attend events will be driving and frankly ivor Wynne is easier to get to than the proposed West Harbourfront stadium. The Traffic Site Report is empty on this website which tells me there is no plan in place.

Hamilton dropped the ball when they had a WHA franchise if only they had built an arena but wouldn't do so. They told Ballard to get lost when he asked them for a better facility for the Tiger-Cats and then built Copps Coliseum with no hope of a hockey franchise. Copps has been a drain on the city ever since.

So now the football team that has been a part of Hamilton years before Custer lost his hair at the Little Big Horn is being told to shut up or leave town because they have the audacity to want a stadium that will actually make business sense for them. By the way if it doesn't make sense for the Tiger-Cats it won't make sense for other people that might promote events at the proposed Stadium

Hamilton is about to shoot itself in the foot again. It is using the wrong type of development to rejuvenate the downtown core.
