The pan am games are nothing more than a way to build stadiums for Ontario's CFL teams. The Argos will quickly move into the new stadium at York University. This is not so much a story of the TieCats hijacking the Hamilton Stadium agenda but the CFL hijacking the amateur sports agenda of the Pan Am games.

From where I sit the 30 million required to build the velodrome was a far better investment than 150 million for this white elephant.

This has no 'city building' potential in fact it seems to be an attempt to rob Ottawa St. of the farmers market and is the complete destruction of amateur sports field, Brian Timmis (sp?) field.

My only take away; to get all this help the CFL must consider themselves to an amateur league. Remember that next time you pay $70+ for a ticket!
