A few quick thoughts while I reorient myself to the latest idea.

Comments here have pointed out that IWS is worse from the public criteria the Ticats have outlined for a stadium site. Given that that is the case, I fail to understand why

If this latest U-turn is being made so Bob Young can save face, I hope it is summarily rejected by council. Because I think the West Harbour site is an objectively superior site both for Pan Ams and for ongoing use.

Otherwise, though, I am not at all averse to a stadium at Ivor Wynne. I like going to Ivor Wynne, even though a West Harbour stadium would be more convenient to where I live in the west end. If we get an enclosed (just enclosed, _not_ domed) stadium, it may even be able to serve as a summer concert venue as IWS never has.

One final stadium thought. A new Ivor Wynne stadium for Pan Ams would actually help LRT get built. That has to be a plus I think.

(And one final other thought. Any comment that complains about downvoting is a self-fulfilling prophecy - I will almost always downvote it. Stop complaining about the site and join the actual discussion about the issues and posts.)
