if you browse the photos of Qwest Field in the wikipedia article you'll see it's a stones throw from one of their downtown heritage shopping/dining districts. Having been there, it's amazing how they were able to tuck such a huge stadium into a small downtown area. You walk down the street and bang, there it is!

And of course, you can come and go via the train:

Real cities learn how to maximize the spinoffs. This stadium has twice the capacity than ours will and yet it's not just plopped into a massive parking lot. People come from all different modes of transport and guess what, Seattle hasn't turned into a hell-hole because of it. In fact, if Hamilton could ever resemble 1/100 of Seattle we'd be well on our way to succeeding.

That is what I am talking about- squeeze it right downtown not "near downtown" but downtown.

I'm not sure but would the light rail "phase one" east West drop you right in front of the stadium at Barton and Tiffany? would that come after phase 2 North South?
