Not entirely sure what you're getting at here Mahesh.

WH was voted for 7 times after a thorough examination of what would work best for the city. At the last second, with no support (beyond, of course, the super-top-secret-burn-before-reading reports that prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that WH won't work but that no one else is allowed to see!) Bob Young threw a tantrum, stomped his foot and said "We won't play there", despite being involved in the process from the beginning and saying "We'll play where they decide to put the stadium".

It's really about controlling the revenue and Bob wants to make money from parking and everything around the game. Understandable, but if that's the desired result, he needs to invest his own money into it. Public money means that the stadium needs to benefit the public.

Does not wanting to lose the best choice count as being "fixated"? Maybe.

Does wanting public money spent benefiting the city instead of a sports team owner count as being fixated? Maybe.

Either way, count me in that group. Show us solid proof as to why WH is a failure and we'll consider your proof. Until then it's all about who benefits from the money.
