Hamilton Stadium kerfuffle

This thing seems to go on endlessly.
East mountain> west harbour> east mountain> west harbour> east mountain> west harbour> .......

BTW, anyone know where these proposed sites are???
I was noodling around in all the online media coverage,
but couldn't find a map anywhere.

I listened to 'the experts' on TSN and they said they should stay where they are, spruce it up, and save the city and tax payers a **** load of money...so of course you know that means they will decide to build

^ I'm sure that Halifax will be one of the things held over their heads.
I'm sure the CFL would do great there.

^maybe but not sure we have population base. However with so few home games you don't have many seats to fill overall.

not even enough seats

an excerpt from this link
"Of course, Young does have a legit bone to pick over the seating. Apparently the proposed stadium would seat 15,000. Now, you might say to yourself, "That sounds about right for the steel-lovin' Tabby fans" but you'd be wrong. According to the Ti-Cats Twitter feed (which is totally not biased), attendance is consistently over 20K. That would mean Bob is stuck with the bill to expand the new stadium. Still, maybe if he'd jump on board with two feet and slap some high-fives at city hall, he'd get his extra seats put in at a bargain basement price. Who knows?"

Young said on TSN that they consulted North American experts regarding where to put it, and they said, business-wise, East Mountain was best, West Harbour was worst. So then Hammer city council goes and decides WH is the place to be, for (allegedly) political reasons. Great to know our city council is not the only one who can make such brilliant decisions...
