The Ticats hired an independent company called the Altus Group to do an economic impact study on Bob Young and his group of companies and what a new stadium would bring to Hamilton, and the total came back a staggering $1.4 billion over 10 years.

Wasn't that study shown to be 80% bullshit? If memory serves, it estimated attendance of 10,000 to NASL games. I think it also stated that there would be two Grey Cups in the next ten years that would both be huge sellouts, even though the last time Hamilton hosted a Grey Cup (in 1996) there were empty seats, and one of the worst-attended Grey Cups in recent history. I can't find the study anymore, so correct me if I'm wrong...
