"Asked whether he knew how much it will cost to relocate the Hamilton Tiger-Cats during the stadium construction or who will cover that cost, Troop replied, "No I don't. That typically is not something that is our responsibility. I don't know what they're going to do, but one of the things we're looking at is the amount of time they have to play at another location."

For what it is worth the Ticats are covering the costs of being away one year. This was in the Jan 31 MOU.

Could it change? Maybe- but as of today the Cats are paying for their season away."

The MOU signed on January 31, 2011 does not state that the Ticats are covering their relocation costs during the stadium construction. It only states that the city will use its best efforts to work with Infrastructure Ontario and Toronto 2015 to ensure the stadium is completed in as short a time as possible.

Here is a link to the entire MOU: https://picasaweb.google.com/10284832901...

Here is a link to the relevant page of the MOU: https://picasaweb.google.com/10284832901...

If the Tiger-Cats are agreeable to paying all of their relocation costs during the Ivor Wynne Stadium reconstruction process, let's hope that this is clearly stated in the final MOU due by December, 2011.
