Re: "Bob Young is a great man and has only the very best intentions for Hamilton."

"Ivor Wynne is a drain on the City’s of Hamilton’s budget, and is the cause of the Tiger-Cats financial instability for more than 40 years.... Every Tiger-Cat fan loves Ivor Wynne, but it is simply no longer a viable stadium for generating the revenue required to run a competitive CFL team, much less other sports teams, and even less so for music concerts or other community events. The reasons for Ivor Wynne’s lack of success for anything, even CFL football, is the lack of visibility and the lack of access. Just ask anyone in Ontario where Ivor Wynne is. If they don’t live in Hamilton or didn’t previously live in Hamilton, they’ll simply have no idea. The reason the stadium is still named Ivor Wynne after all these years is no one is willing to pay enough for the naming rights to justify the cost of the scaffolding needed to change the sign." - Bob Young, in rejecting the West Harbour option, May 6, 2010
