[HamiltonBoyInToronto]

It is really annoying that people keep downsizing things in Hamilton....we are a good sized city with a lot going for us ...the FOC needs to remain the same size and get a complete facelift...there should also be a mixed use component incorporated into the reno (condos and retail).... I think the only people that would want to see Hamilton lose its competitive edge by having a venue the size of FOC would be outsiders who are threatened by Hamilton....I've heard stories of business owners and corporations from Toronto and other cities doing some shaddy things in order to keep Hamilton on the down and out .... Suggesting that we lose FOC and build something smaller and somewhere other than downtown sounds like one of these conspiracies lol
