I like the comment about drinking and driving. All this stadium talk is based around football and we all know that football and drinking go hand in hand. this isn't a bad thing! But if everyone has to drive to the east mtn, they're either going to drink less or drink and drive. But if it's at the west harbour, people can walk up james north, go downtown and even hess village after the game and no one has to drive!

Seeing a concert near the water, near local businesses vs. middle of nowhere next to the highway and bland big box stores speaks for itself. Ask all the bars/resaturants downtown how busy they get before and after a concert at Copps...you think they wouldn't get the same numbers with a west harbour stadium down the street?

Toronto has ACC/Rogers Centre/Ontario Place/Amphitheatre/Exibition/BMO field ALL close by, ALL near the water and ALL are extremely accessible via public transit. Even when public transit is added to access the east mtn stadium, is the extra 20-30minutes it takes to get there from downtown worth it? There is nothing up there to enhance the spirit of going to a game/concert. Downtown, there is everything.
