Maybe one of these days the myth of people not wanting to go downtown will end. When concerts are sold out thousands from outside Hamilton are going. It's true as somebody mentioned what would be like if you didnt have places like Copps, Hamilton Place etc. When over 13,000 people had season deposits lined up for a potential hockey team they were willing to come. When U2, Bruce Springsteen, Elton John and other artists like that people will go down there and sell out the arena. Are Ticats fans so iffy of whether they would go to a game or not the couldnt accept a location down there...is that a real fan?. People travel 100-200 miles to go a Bills game and don't do much complaining how long it takes to get there. Are they such fans that they wouldn't be willing to walk 2 or 3 blocks to get to a stadium there...as tens of thousands of people that go to Copps now have to do?. The distance you have to park away from Copps wouldnt be much different than the distance you would have to park at a stadium there. In fact it's not very unusal at all to park many blocks away from a downtown stadium/arena in any city...im really at a loss as why people that are going to Ivor Wynne currently..wouldn't go there???. That location was 6 blocks from Copps not on another planet,,,if you go to Copps and are already parking 3 blocks from there...what the frig difference is it if you park 3 blocks away from a football stadium?.
