At least the first option includes a full stadium. I see no problem with the city considering other proposals (late as it is), but why would they consider an option that eliminates half the stadium stands when there is a tenant waiting in the wings? Sure, there is the idea that a “development-tied stadium at the rapid transit hub at Bayview” could be developed if the half-stadium option was selected, but who would pay for a full stadium and when would it be complete? Certainly not in the incoming council’s term.
When cost of the project is a big issue I don’t see how spending $50 million on a half-stadium at Lansdowne and probably $200 million on another stadium with no provincial or federal help makes it better.
