By give cats IWS and city builds at WH (anonymous) | Posted January 16, 2011 at 18:43:52

Since the TiCats want to develop the land around their stadium why not have the City of Hamilton give them IWS and all the land around it for free and lets them develop it as they see fit. The city would no longer subsidize the team but they are gaining a lot of real estate for free.

Then the city can have a 6,000 seat stadium at the waterfront for soccer and concerts and a spiced up velodrome linked to a community rec centre and remediated land and parks.

Cats get their stadium and then would need to show they can run a business on their own without continued subsidy.

Lets use the money for facilities that people can use instead of for seats in an already existing stadium for people to sit and drink beer 10 days a year.

More bang for the buck to use the fed, provincial and FF money for community use.
