Without a anchor tenant, the WH site becomes financially unviable. The city staff report itself confirms this. Should council decide to proceed with a WH stadium that does not have a tenant then it will be a financial drain on the city. In fact, Hostco and the federal government have both stated that funding of a stadium would not be forthcoming if the stadium is not financially viable. A vote for WH will effectively be a vote to remove the Pan Am stadium from Hamilton.

If the remediation costs are so much less expensive than originally thought, than the main argument for placing a stadium on this particular site (i.e to facilitate the expensive cleanup of a brownfield)is null and void.
