The Hamilton Tiger-Cats are backing out of the Pan Am stadium.
TiCats owner Bob Young issued an aggressive letter this afternoon talking about the team’s “last days at Ivor Wynne.”
He says after next year, “there will be no home for Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the city where we shared so much success and positive experiences together.”
Young has previously threatened to move the team from Hamilton, but the letter issued this afternoon does not categorically state the team is leaving. A Ticat source says while moving the team to another Canadian city is an option, there is no deal in place to move the team to Quebec City or Ottawa at this time. Cats president Scott Mitchell refused to comment further, saying “the statement speaks for itself” and he “will not be, nor will anybody else be commenting further.”
Young says Eisenberger’s refusal to adopt the east mountain site that ultimately pushed the team away from negotiations.

A man who cannot fill Ivor Wynn Stadium should not be telling the City how to spend its Money. If he sinks the PAN AM Games in our town he MAY AS WELL leave as few will return to the TiCats no matter what their record.
