Like it or not the site has been confirmed. To even entertain any alternate site at this point in time would be foolish at best. We've had two site selection extensions from HostCo and there is little doubt another request would be catastrophic. HostCo has indicated other municipalities are interested in the stadium and further delays will surely raise questions about our willingness to participate. Lay blame where you may, but we must stay the course and hopefully be approved for funding. Lose the PanAm Stadium and the Tiger-Cats may follow that funding to a new stadium elsewhere. The M.I.P lands have little if any chance of approval. Over 1 million sq. ft. of research and development space is either being built or in the planning stage. Neither the City, McMaster or the Province will allow these employment lands to be used for a stadium, much less a parking lot. The Councilors who wish to revive this debate for political gain surely don't have the best interests of the city as a priority or they wouldn't have chosen this site. They deserve to be banished from office. We deserve Better.
