Raise the Hammer

lawrence, to be clear, it's the city who has the 20 year plan to keep IWS viable not the Cats.

Thanks for clearing that up, Frank.

As for West Harbour, the thing that might not be attractive to some about IWS, is probably the one thing that is beautiful about the harbour. A stadium amongst the community.

And the argument that the current site is not accessible, why not? One poster on this site mentioned that he doesn't go to games because he doens't know where to park or lack of parking. Seriously? I may not drive now because I live close, but this couldn't be further from the truth.

Maybe the Tiger-Cats could (beyond a map on their site that indicates parking in the general vacinity of the stadium), extend the map to show other areas even streets, where people park during game day. By encouraging people to park on city streets, we are showing them the beautiful areas surrounding the stadium. A walk down streets like Leinster (heading north to the stadium from the other side of Scott Park), is one example of such streets.

Perhaps the Cats could get involved even with the private lot guys, chipping in some money for better signs for them and working with them to provide a map with prices and how best to get to these lots. Like churches or other business who allow parking on game day. Even houses for that matter? 'xx Balsam street offers parking on their lawns for $5. Fits three cars.

Maybe this is absurd, but saying there is no parking or poor accessibility is absurd. Perhaps if you are in the mindset of I just went online, bought a ticket and I am just looking for a big parking lot. There are a couple of those but if you are not early enough, you may end up driving around.

Plan ahead. Bring a parking map with you (include it in the season schedule even), so you know your alternatives with a clear veiw on how to find them and what kind of cost you are looking at?

At least in the interim if we are vacating IWS, this could help encourage more to come down and see that 'it's not all that bad'.
