The City would be the one (taxpayers), that would have to put up the $2M dollar investment to make up for the shortfall of available seats required to host a the Cup. So the City are the ones taking the risk. I'd guarantee we make that money back the first time. Depending on it's success, is how I would determine if we should take the CFL up on that 2nd promised Cup within a few years of the first one.

Ivor Wynne has the capacity now, with the addition of temporary seats although Tiger-Vision made it so we couldn't install temporary seating to host Grey Cups. That is an assumption but I'd be willing to bet that is what Tiger-Vision actually took away from us.

And so what if fans stay in Burlington. That hotel on Lakeshore at Brant is a nice place with a great view of either the lake or downtown Burlington. And it's just a few minutes from Ivor Wynne

We'll do fine and the City will take the risk at least the first time.
