    Why would you make that comparison when Ottawa already had a stand ready to be refurbished and already started refurbing before Hamilton even got started. This project has been plagued by haters and conspiracy wingnuts since day one. Still don't know why because if you follow modern stadium construction (and planning for the future) it is way ahead of the curve.

    It may not be fully completed by July 26, you may have to drink your beer from a bottle poured to a cup and you may have a long lineup to take a leak in one of the possibly few finished cans, but you'll have a seat and watch players playing on their new FieldTurf Revolution field.

    Just commenting on the 2 pictures. Ottawa looks much further along.

    Also it's been my experience that renovating something usually takes longer than tearing it down and starting from scratch. So I'm not sure that Ottawa had any advantage over Hamilton in that regard.

    Hamilton started from scratch. They decided to rotate the endzones ever since their star signing, Sandro DeAngelis couldn't hit a FG.
