he scoreboard he thoughtfully breaks out, leaving us with $28m invested in gussying up the locker room, buying the Jarvis Street bunker

Let's be fair here. There were substantial upgrades to Ivor Wynne stadium, paid for by the Ticats. Let's be conservative, and say it was only $10 million. It is disingenuous to call it an "investment" given that they don't own the stadium, the city does. It is an operating cost, that they absorbed to the mutual benefit of the team and city.

what we have from the Cats camp are sticky proclamations about how IWS' geographic/logistical handicap has contributed to the franchise's last four decades of borderline insolvency

I am curious, does anyone here doubt that the location and age of IWS has not had a deleterious effect on the Ticats bottom line? Is it not reasonable to expect that better public transit access, parking, comfortable seats and concession areas would have a measurable improvement to the Ticats revenue?
