Illuminate me then. The wikipedia pages of those teams describe nothing but the same thing Bob Young is trying to do - they wanted to make sure their teams had wider appeal than the urban area that hosted them. Bob Young wants people to drive from Oakville and Brantford and St. Catherines to see the Ti-cats. He's made this clear - he wants it to have a regional fanbase, and the Hamilton name is going to be a massive impediment on that plan.

I can't find any justification other than the same for the B.C. Lions or the Sask. Roughriders, despite their locations in the capitals of their provinces. Am I missing something?

@told you so

What? Of course it's self-interest. If the city is going to dump 8 figures into a stadium, then the city should reap some benefit.

I honestly can't even begin to grasp the kind of thinking that would lead to your post.
