The facilitated talks between the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and the city have reached the end of the road without an agreement.After more than three weeks of negotiations, the Tiger-Cats and the city are no closer to resolving their dispute over building the proposed Pan Am stadium in the west harbour.The continuing impasse not only casts doubts on the viability of going ahead with a new stadium to replace the aging Ivor Wynne, it raises questions about the long-term sustainability of the football team in Hamilton.The last scheduled meeting between the deadlocked sides took place Wednesday, the day after city council agreed to consider handing over management of the new stadium to Daryl Katz, owner of the Edmonton Oilers.Facilitator Michael Fenn declined to comment on the negotiations. He said his job is to summarize them in a report which he expects to submit to council's committee of the whole meeting Tuesday.
