Totally agree here, Ryan. This would summarize my thoughts on the debate as well. In fact, I would believe that many fellow Ticat fans who supported the East Mountain would have to agree. Their angle, however, would be that having a stadium that, by perception, would ensure the profitability of the club would take something that's traditionally been a net-gain emotionally, but a net-loss financially, off the backs of the taxpayer. So, very internal/ Ticat focused with the city getting peripheral benefit. Short sighted, given the initial investment, for sure. We also must remember, too, that there are those who simply do not see the value of downtown redevelopment -- and would rather do the easier/ more efficient today exercise of developing easy-to-develop suburban lands.
