Earl, what is the city to do with IWS? It cost $1.2m every year to maintain it now. What will it cost once the tabbies leave it, and as it ages even further?

Sensible thing is demolition. Then the numerous community uses that it has now, must be accommodated elsewhere.

What better way to replace it with a new scalable stadium, paid for , mostly by the feds and province that allows for future possibilities, especially when you consider Bob Young will not always own the team. Furthermore it cost significantly less to maintain than IWS. So many reasons for Hamilton to so this.

Fact is, there will be a stadium built for the Pan Am games with mostly fed and provincial money. Why not Hamilton?

Little of this has anything to do with the Tiger-Cats. If they give up on the city and collaborating an a stadium with us, then good luck to them. They gotta do what they gotta do. I, for one, am just not sure what that is right now.
