And speaking of HostCo flip-flopping, I think somoene needs to call them on the Varsity Stadium upgrades. Why doesn't Hamilton qualify for the 'upgrade' card? Even at a reduced funding amount than what they were going to pony up for a new stadium. IW is ready for soccer today.

Worried about camera shots for the games? Outside of the breathtaking view of the historical south side pressboxes that foreshadow the escarpment, there is a nice shiny new school next door and now it looks like Parkview is done unfortunately so there is more parking even. (although I would rather fight to save that school too ...), and who knows what the owner of the International school (aka Scott Park), has in store for that building. Give us the full funding and renovate another historical part of the block (Jimmy Thompson Pool), and build a new Scott Park arena. How is all that for legacy? Can $105M do all that ($60 from feds/prov and $45 from FF)?

Want some kind of hotel/living quarters at the stadium? Take this guys IW hotel design and change it to suit the current housing archecture on Melrose/Balsam/Beechwood. At the Cats/private investors cost of course.
