I always thought that WH was a terrible site for a stadium to house the Ti-Cats but for a small civic stadium for high school games and such I think it would work nicely. Especially after already spending all that money on acquiring the properties there. Taking advantage of the money from senior levels of government to pay for most of it is icing on the cake. Save the money and just build a 6,000 or 7,000 seat stadium and be done with it. I know McMaster has Ron Joyce which is a similar size but over the years I have come to the realization that McMaster is not very civic minded and would gouge the city if we needed to rely on their site. To bad the city did not get involved with McMaster when they started building and had contributed and established a long term agreement to use Ron Joyce for civic events. That ship I believe has long sailed. Unfortunately this will almost assuredly mean the end of the Tiger-Cats in Hamilton. I do not see the city building 2 stadiums and the Cats simply cannot/will not.

If a pedestrian friendly link over the tracks were to be built to connect to the existing parks it could be used as a site for a new musical festival.
