All I can see from all this is that our blundering council will somehow manage to screw the whole thing up again. I have never had respect for councillor Merrula and his over the top, boisterous comments etc.. But I also realize this is the way he tries (and often does) to get his way. Congrats to Mr. Bratina for standing up to him.

Do people not realize that with a new downtown stadium, the existing infrastructure would HAVE to be upgraded??? This government money (non municipal portion) will never be seen in this quantity without our getting these venues. I can't believe the lack of common sense in this city. It is truly overwhelming, and that is why, IMHO, this city will never get to the position it claims to reach for. We need to open our eyes and take anything we can get right now. Imagine the construction jobs alone, the money coming in from extra workers downtown etc..

And by the way, I believe Bob Young has said he will put money towards any new facility for the Ti-cats.

Forget the Airport lands, forget Burlington, Aldershot or Flamborough, the stadium needs to be downtown.
