I dont see why we would get a new stadium.
But the Hammer is getting a 15000 seat athletic stadium.
Animals Eaten:
pig, cow, lamb, moose, chicken, quail, kudu, ostrich, kangaroo, octopus, alligator, rabbit, shark, springbok, goat, bison, boar, caterpillars, turkey, fish, lobster, crab, oyster, prawn, antelope, camel, eel, squid
It means Hamilton is getting a USL/TOA team if Bob Young keeps to his promises.
The what games???
i wonder about BMO Field expansion... it would be a great way to get expansion without MLSE having to pay a cent. They could play the soccer there , without the track around the field that the Hamilton stadium is supposed to have.
think we qualify before then?

Why would it be great to use more taxpayer's money on BMO Field rather than MLSE? I hope they stick to the current plan ... Hamilton needs a new stadium badly.
By the way, I thought the Hamilton stadium was supposed to hold 30,000 people ... is that the plan for the stadium after the PanAm Games?
BTW, I think this is a 33,000 seat rendering ...

the reason i pose the question is that, the city owns BMO, so a part of the money that they would spend on new stadiums why wouldnt they spend a little more on BMO...After all not all the events will be played in Hamilton, after all the games were awarded to Toronto.
The games were awarded to a bid that fronted the name "Toronto".
Also, I'm not sure whether any events are being held in BMO Field but why would that necessitate expansion or renovations? Those events are not going to draw massive crowds ... the PanAm games are generally very low profile. If BMO Field was good enough for the FIFA U-20 World Cup, it is good enough for Pan Am games (the Skydome is hosting the Opening/Closing ceremonies so that takes care of that).
I didn't mean to say I thought it was great. I meant it was a "great way for MLSE" not to have to pay for it. big difference. i'm just looking at it from their eyes.
secondly, I don't really see MLSE spending $20mil to expand the stadium. So if people want expansion, might as well do it this way, no?

East side expansion
Maybe the waterfront will finally get some much needed TLC!
Christ. Does Canada have ANY major stadiums that don't have open ends?
