Agree with most posters here that this Stadium design is terrible and just reinforces the image of Hamilton across Canada as a low class, poverty stricken community. I am a big CFL fan and had Tiger-Cat season tickets for many years in the 1990's. However, I will not be attending any games at the new stadium as I have lost considerable respect for Bob Young and the Ticat organization.

As a financial analyst, I cannot understand how this stadium will be financially viable in the long-term for the football team. Within 5 years, I suspect the Ticats will be coming back to the City looking for another handout (e.g. rent reduction, loan or grant to add additional seats to the stadium). Also, the City's $50 million contribution sounds significant but when you amortize this over the life of the stadium (50 to 75 years), it is really not that much money.
