Bottom line is, 20 years from now, what has more benefit to a kid born in Hamilton this year?
a)A stadium built in Burlington for the Ticats, where a ticket will cost north of $100.
b)A community facility at WH with velodrome, smaller stadium for soccer, pool?, etc, etc
The WH solution would encourage participation in sports, affordable entertainment and brownfield renewal. The Aldershot idea doesn't do anything for Hamilton and means that we're wasting the chance at free money. Demographically, the CFL is on the wane in southern Ontario, immigrants don't care about it, and football is expensive to participate in, and would be very expensive to attend in a new stadium. Soccer is cheap to participate in and much more affordable to attend if we had a USL team.
