Shemptolla, At .500 it means there is a competitive team on the field already, a competitive that has been unable to draw 95% attendance. Back to marketing and selling the team on the field.

Also, it is worth noting 2 of the games were lost in final play and only by 1 and 2 points respectively (the 2 games I attended). Winning those would have significantly changed the TiCats win %.

Now you seem fixated on BY and parking for TiCat games, you have completely overlooked that BY would want the parking concession, period. That means not just during TiCat games, but also for concerts, festivals, whatever else gets booked into the new stadium.

Now there's a money maker when you locate a stadium in suburbia where pretty much everyone has to drive. Aldershot is just a shot in the dark, and one more example of how BY and his crew have mis-managed this entire stadium issue. But that doesn't absolve the City of Hamilton from the fact they never once sold the benefits of a a site that wasn't preferable to the TiCats. The City choose to operate based on their needs exclusively, seemingly not understanding the guys with no money in the game (Tiger Cats) had veto power. Tying back to my original assertion, "rookie mistake".
