Can someone answer why someone making $0 contribution to this stadium, and who is not a PanAm games partner, is negotiating with the provincial government? This debate transcends just a stadium and speaks to a city that has long been held hostage to political cronyism and the old-boys club. I await the end of an era at council tomorrow. Hamilton residents need to urge their councillors to vote for a community soccer stadium at WH and recommend the savings be used for a permanent velodrome and community athetics centre. Make the stadium scalable for such a time as the Ti-Cats big-time corporate partners with their likely-never-to-be-disclosed-contribution (according to Bob Young) step up and allow the Ti-Cats to contribute suitable monies to this project. At which time they can start discussing revenue streams like naming rights, parking, and a "sports precinct".
