No one is arguing with you to put the stadium at the West Harbor. You're just saying "Hey, we want to build this place, come and take up a spot" The Ticats have declined. Go ahead and build your WH location then. Really, its not their fault that they feel they can't make money there and for wanting something else. Be realistic, if you're a business owner and a landlord proposes a location that doesn't suit your business model, is it your fault that you don't want to go there? For what is being levied to the Ticats (10 home dates a year, new practice facility) with the WH plan, how are we "giving" the Ticats 60 million. If the Ticats fold tomorrow, Hamilton still has their stadium.

I just don't understand what an empty stadium gets Hamilton if it's an "idyllic" location. How you can even refer to WH as a great site is beyond me. It's east of Hamilton Ship Yard, South of the Railway Tracks and surrounded by brownfield failed experiments of the past.

What other cities in North America have stadiums on the waterfront that are these great successes?
