That's a good point - why are the Mercantis so interested in downtown anyway? Why wouldn't they be extra eager for the casino to go up by the Red Hill or near their hotel? Maybe they're concerned it will take business away from themselves. But in any case I think it's obvious that gamblers are drivers so why this urge to have it downtown?

I think confederation park would have been great - pan am stadium, casino, hotel - create a cheesy entertainment district where the patrons won't care so much about the steel mills next door. Thanks again Chad!
