I don't think that a mind-blowing, renovated IWS will bring in more Ticat fans, although it will retain fans. I think a different location with better access and nice surroundings (whether that be neighbourhood or post-game activities) will. A mind-blowing, renovated IWS may keep the Ticats; then again, it may not. A smaller, WH stadium may lose the Ticats; then again, it may not. I know this was all supposed to be about the Pan Am Games, and the Cats SHOULD NOT be driving this economic boat, but they are attached to this issue in a huge way. In simple economic terms, contributing to a losing business in any way is sheer stupidity, an activity for bored billionnaires not hard-working citizens, but there's so much more to the Ticats role in Hamilton's identity than simply economics. Bottom line on BY is that what he says is irrelevant; contracts only. Makes one wonder why the east coast is so bent on getting CFL action/expansion down there. There must be a case for this to be a good economic move, especially with all the data out there on stadium losses/profits now. I do believe we are getting snowed insofar as the Cats being a losing venture; I just don't know what we can do about it.
