"NASL team would be called Hamilton United; would be partnered w/ youth academy to give site an amateur-sport legacy"

The NASL (which is the league Bob Young's Carolina Railhawks play) has just added Ottawa as a team.

Is there any talk of this Hamilton team actually happening?

The Carolina Railhawks has new ownership since January 2011.

Technically HTCFC, Inc (Hamilton Tiger-Cats Football Club) was part owner of the Railhawks until December 2010, not Bob Young.

Bob Young is the owner of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats Football Club. What the club own, he owns by extension, right?

Right.

That's why I used the word "technically".

I think we all know who owns the Tiger-Cats. Not sure what your point is.

Bob Young/TiCats are the biggest, most reliable, renters of a city-owned stadium. And when we build a new stadium, the TiCats will negotiate to pay rent for every game in our new City-owned stadium. It will be up to the City to rent the stadium out for other events. It is not, never was, Bob Young's stadium. It is Hamilton's, mostly paid for by the feds and the province.
