All one has to do is look at what Pittsburgh has done to their waterfront and city to realize the potenial Hamilton has. Of course it's the same old thing (including the Ticats), nobody wants to have anything remotely to do with the downtown....if Pittsburgh thought the same way, they would be in the same mess we are in. It amazes me how short memories are in this city. It was just a year ago when jim basillie wanted to bring a NHL team here ..and plans for a converted Copps making it a top 5 arena in the NHL (yes in that dreaded downtown)...just basically a few blocks from where this stadium could be. So i ask anyone..what is the major difference of a NHL team here getting 18,000-19,000 for 40 or more games per year...and the ticats getting 20,000-25,000 for 9 games a year?. Why was that so wonderful and no major complaints about traffic..etc but putting a stadium down there is so horrible??.20 yrs ago hardly anyone was going down to the west harbor area, now..tens of thousands a year go down there after they turned it into a people place (finally)..the stadium belongs down there...if the ticats don't like it..sell the team to someone else
