If the plan is seriously to pave over the ball diamonds and Brian Timmis without replacing them with comparable, affordable, accessible facilities then we run the risk that the Ivor Wynne will be turned down by HostCo. They were pretty clear about the amateur sport legacy component. Whether you agree with it or not, that's their mandate and they control the purse strings. It's probably not a good idea to give them an excuse to build a mini-stadium in Mississauga instead. Even City Council might balk at the idea of removing these amenities with no likelihood that nearby replacements will be created.

Even Car-worshipping, field-paving, wrecking ball-swinging Ticat fans would perhaps be wise to jump on the 'social inclusion' and 'amateur sport legacy' bandwagon for this one.
