I agree that Bob Young cannot be blamed for wanting to turn a profit. I just think that he's wrong about an urban stadium being able to work.

Take, for example, Molson Stadium in Montreal: downtown, near, hemmed in by Mount Royal and and park land. And yet the Alouettes pack them in there after years of playing to a 2/3rds empty Olympic Stadium.

I'm sure that Mr. Young is correct in thinking - not saying; he's never come out and said this - that it seems easier to make a profit with a lock on parking and food revenues at a remote location.

Montrealers can figure out how to park downtown or take transit and walk a little bit. Can't we?
