Being from Winnipeg what I don't understand is why does Burlington pay nothing and Hamilton had to pay what $50-60 million. Also why is the latest proposal only seat 22,000 that is way too small. The ti-cats average over 23,000 just last year at Ivor Wynn. With a new stadium there is the novelty of a new facility which always draws more fans the first few years why would the ti-cats do this. If Bob Young was smarter he should have leaked this propsal to Burlington a few months ago so atleast they could study it in secret because Hamilton kept changing it's mind on sites. I was siding with Young for awhile but looking back I was wrong both sides have really messed this up. WH wouldn't have killed the ti-cats because of poor signage or parking they would have done well. The city though in it's indecision and waffling on various sites is also to blame.
