I can't believe that we would accept a stadium as the answer to urban development. As the writer above notes, study after study shows that stadia do not revitilize cores. At best they create a buzz of activity whenever a game is played or event staged. The community around the West Harbour is not in favour of this development and yet it seems that the looney tunes in this readership are making it a case of profit vs. "what's good for Hamilton". Well, you know...a profitable venture IS good for Hamilton as is a major sports franchise. Also what is good for the city is less acrimony and more cooperation on everyone's part....Young isn't a villain just because he wants to stop losing money and the City isn't a villain because it wants the West Harbour rehabilitated. So, Mr. Fenn...do your work and it doesn't matter to most of us if the site is eventually in the West Harbour or elsewhere in the city....if it isn't the West Harbour, get busy on plan B for its revitilization.
