frank, I'm in complete agreement with you about IWS, wife and me love going there now and find the parking is easy, we park at Centre Mall or Gage Park and walk to the stadium and we love IWS even if it is a bit old. And I'm with you on the WH site and using public money with that site making the most sense. The EM doesn't need help, it will get built on it's own, stadium or now stadium. (Man I'm torn on this whole thing)

But let me mention something. My family in London, Ont, I grew up there, laughs at Hamilton as a dirty smelly steel town not worth anything. I tell them about our trails and waterfront and waterfalls and they are starting to get what a gem Hamilton is once you get past the steel mills people see from the QEW. But they are a sports family and are so proud of the John Labatt Centre and gush about it (it is nice BTW) and the place is packed with 9000 for every Knights game. Well, I'd love to shove something like a nice new stadium down their throats and say look at us, we have a great stadium. Because they laugh at IWS being old and that even though again, they understand the sightlines are good but think the stadium is in an area "beneath them" to come to London for a game. (some Londoners can be haugty, my family is a bit like that).

So I'm afraid to admit this but I don't want to peeve off Bob Young too much, I love CFL football and I'm afraid he might pull the team out. So yes, I am sucking up to him somewhat I agree. If he pulls the TiCats out of Hamilton, I won't like that.

As I say, I'm very torn on this whole thing, it's driving me crazy.
