By Be T you say "realfreeenterpriser the point is right there yet you don't see it." Please, specifically, tell me, and the rest of the posters, what the point is that I'm not seeing.

If YOU don't want to come downtown or if YOU don't care if it rots, just say so. Most people take a broader view than that.

If you think that Bob Young and the Tiger-Cats should get virtually exclusive benefit of tens of millions of taxpayers dollars including the future fund, just say so. Most people think as many people and businesses as possible should benefit from public expenditures.

If you really believe that a West Harbour stadium won't help to make our downtown BETTER, do you then, by extension, actually believe that directing 20-30 thousand people to the edges of our city won't make it WORSE?

The only way to make the Tiger-Cats (or any other private business) sustainable is to have revenue equal or exceed expenses. That can be done by any combination of reducing costs, increasing ticket prices and/or attendance. By providing dirt cheap rent and concessions, free HSR and policing and now the newest and best stadium in the CFL, the taxpayers of Hamilton have already done their part.

Once again, to paraphrase Jeffery93 "if that isn't good enough for Bob Young, then he's not good enough for us"
