The poll which stated people were in favor of the West harbor 51%-49% really shows alot to me. That isn't a real big difference but.... but the fact that a good portion of them are in favor of the east mountain only out of fear of losing the team is interesting. The scare tactic worked and what would have been that number had Bob Young orginally agreed to the West harbor?.. We don't know but i would guess half of that 49% would have thought it was ok. If he was orginally ok with it i bet the number would have been 70% in favor of the west harbor, it just makes alot of sense. Add in the fact he thinks that location is on planet mars or something, he has pretty much painted that picture of it being that way. They point to the accessabilty as if everyone would park right at the stadium..or would have to?. Has he ever gone to the ACC or a places like that or other CFL stadiums..where there isn't any parking at all?. Edmonton and Montreal have no onsite parking. Edmonton you get FREE parking at the bus/lrt parking lots (6 of them) you get free parking and bus/lrt. Montreal states "Parking is limited and available on the street only - there is no parking at the stadium" . People park blocks and blocks away from the ACC and go there in a city with a heck of alot more traffic than hamilton. I remember going to a blue jays game, there was a red hot chili peppers concert and a one of the big theatre shows had just ended. People were everywhere out in the street as it is...walking all over...None of them seemed too concerned they had to maybe walk 3-4 blocks back to their cars..
