It’s not too late to reinstate the original location at WH and do this thing right. The plans are in place, the costs are already spent on land assembly and construction is not going to start until AFTER the 2012 football season. In fact, if they went back to WH, they could start construction sooner and not worry about the cost inflation due to building the stadium within one football season (a concern Ferguson raised).

Given that we are now clearly talking about a new stadium either way, the central question is what is the best location that justifies all this money from citizens. That is what this has been about all along and just because it has taken one hell of a lot of time to come to this point, doesn’t mean City Council shouldn’t do the right thing.

The ONLY reason IWS was a compromise was cost. Once the Ticats said that IWS would be fine, the ball was back in the City’s court to figure out the best location for money. Now that cost and location are not issues, WH is the only choice that will rebuild some of the shattered confidence and enthusiasm citizens have for taking most of our Future Fund and building a sports stadium.
