Its funny, it seems that everyone downtown is a TiCat fan now.
If you put a stadium downtown the people from the East Mountain will have to drive to it... no?
Unless I have missed something the Italo/Portuguese and single speed bike riders from James N. are not the main market for the TiCats.
BTW Its not in the boonies there are 10s of thousands of people that live up/out there. Like it or not the mountain is where alot if the growth in Hamilton is happening. From what I see the downtown is de-populating... has been for years.
Would I wanna see the stadium at the Harbour... of course but lets not make this second stadium choice out to be so far away. Its actually about 15min from Ivor Wynne 12.2km and about 2 minutes more for the Pan Am games.
If this was the original site and the West Harbour was the second choice people would go apeshit, the harbour is being ruined!! Downtown is not a place for a stadium!! Its should be a park!!
BTW Fenn is the "facilitator" not the "Adjudicator"... different, this is proposed as a compromise plan, council still can choose any site it wants regardless of what the report says.
Plan A is still the one that council wants... I think... so lets see what happens.
Also since when is a stadium thats empty 350 days a year the silver bullet for downtown renewal?
Brad Clarks quote on CH really sums up how council thinks:
(paraphrasing) "The plan B site will save the city money because it will not need environmental remediation"
Hello... you guys just bought the west harbour and you will have to remediate it (don't you?) ... unless he is implying that the city is gonna sit on these toxic sites without remediating them... duh.
