The HRM will never go this alone....and that lends strength to what is needed. Nobody goes it alone...we need Feds, Prov and HRM to back this. I dont view this issue as a HRM issue at all.....
A committee of the municipality is what has Hamilton in knotts right now....a stadium will need a lot of stake holders at the table......Universities, Govt, Corp Sponsors, CFL or an owner viewpoint even if its apotential owner, a guy like Harold MacKay for concert promo etc etc.... It would not likely ever be the "best" site....there would never the perfect site...only one that would be a Go! (with all its pluses and minuses)
I just cant see HRM council or city planners even being the major force in picking a site.
