If you want "to satisfy the mandate of the Future Fund and provide good value for the citizens of Hamilton" I think the city needs to be brave enough and tell the ti-cats to 'keep a sock in it'! If anything I see the compromise with the ti-cats only hurting the city's goals for redevelopment/reinvestment.

Look at what other BIG cities are doing to improve profitability for both private and public sectors, they are promoting their greatest asset: Waterfronts!!!

Ironically latest issue of APA Planning magazine came in today, and I quote "the most successful waterfront parks are the ones that are connected to the city and to public transit" It goes on to explain what big cities like Cincinnati and even New York's West Side are doing to improve downtown profitability, and surprise surprise, they all include a waterfront stadium.

Seriously, every time I see the McMaster plan I think: "Let's go to the lab after the Cats game." Real innovative.

We already have all the assets in place, it's just a matter of connecting the dots. The Ti-Cats are leading us astray.

Come on Hamilton, Be bold, be brave!
