I'm still skeptical about this costing Burlington 0 dollars. Every site that Hamilton looked at ended up with a ton of extra costs. I would trust a developer about as much as a used car salesman.

As a fan, I'm also wondering about the Cats due diligence on their fan base especially the ones who are actually attending. I have season tickets now, but if it moved to Aldershot I might consider downgrading to a flex pack. Labour Day in the middle of some Aldershot field just wouldn't have the same atmosphere. I'm sure they've done research where suburbanites who don't go to the game now have said they would if it wasn't in the lower city, but it is pretty easy to say that over the phone when it costs you nothing, rather than paying the cash and having to endure some traffic inconvenience no matter where the stadium ends up. Add in the possibility of future 3 and 16 seasons when you've pissed off some of their hardcore Hamilton base and you're left with some temperamental suburbanites.
