Can't say I agree with a lot in this article.

My girlfriend was asking if I wanted to go to either of the games last weekend, and I said I wasn't interested. Why? Because I wasn't going to pay more money than I would to see a game at Copps with the added downsides of cheaper seating, significantly colder, poorer sight lines, not knowing what the weather would be like, and so on.

Does Hamilton deserve an NHL team? Maybe, but probably not. I'd say that Hamilton's track record of wanting one of everything, begging and pleading to get it, then failing to support it and watching it leave (see just about every sport that's ever had a team in Hamilton) has something to do with it. Me? I just go an hour down the road to Buffalo to see the Leafs play. Something my dad and me have done going back 10 years now. Spend the day doing some shopping, a nice dinner, catch up on life, then watch the game. The crowds are usually about 50/50 Toronto/Buffalo or sometimes more like 75/25.
