I still have hope that BY will come 'round to the idea of contributing financially to WH as a viable home for the Cats - once he sees that his options have run out.

If he wanted to he could even spin his team's financial contribution as philanthropy, a willingness to contribute to "city building" in spite of the financial sacrifice, anything of course to keep the team in his beloved hometown - all the while reaping the benefits of a gargantuan, once-in-a-lifetime taxpayer investment in sports infrastructure, as well as (likely) the flow of sponsorship dollars to a new venue. Who knows, but that he might even relinquish parking revenues and a flashy new office to make it work.

He may also anticipate better ticket revenues following on an improved, "nice guy" PR image to repair the brand's damage of the last few months, together with the obvious public interest in attending football games at a brand new stadium in a beautiful new location.

Here's hoping anyways. If this isn't possible for him, I honestly have no idea what makes the TiCats so financially insolvent compared to other teams in the league who do contribute significant dollars to stadium construction.
