After re-reading my post it's become very clear.

East Mountain is dead as far as the Ti-Cats (and Hostco) are concerned.

The two sites remaining under consideration are Aldershot and Confederation Park. Anything else, and the Cats will stay silent, and Hostco will pull back to a pithy offer (like the 5,000-7,000 seater mentioned earlier).

From a community-building standpoint are either of these workable?

Aldershot has bike lane access and is starting to see some residential development nearby, but as a low-density community already faces concerns about intensification. The GO station is existing.

Confederation Park is in Hamilton proper, which has a better chance of being able to support the stadium's operating finances. But the GO station is only theoretical (and not yet funded). Would relocating the water park to the West Harbour, and building the stadium where the waterpark is today make sense? (thereby saving some of the green space in the park).
