I remember as a young engineering student in the 80's sneaking into "Copps Coliseum" while it was under construction. Great memories!
Yeah, I did the same thing while in high school... me and a couple buddies walked right in through the York garage entrance and stood right at would be centre ice (the roof was on at that point).I remember as a young engineering student in the 80's sneaking into "Copps Coliseum" while it was under construction.

Now its been stripped of all its character and represents what our society has become - glassy, and empty - devoid of craftsmanship. Thank god for core urban and the fact hamilton rotted in the 80s and 90s instead of being bulldozed like so many other cities or we'd be a lot cause entirely.It genuinely pains me to see these images. They literally destroyed this city. It used to look European. Now.... i'm not sure what it is![]()
I assume that it is a pitch for money in terms of purchases of suites, investments in projects, et cetera.I'm surprised they didn't rent out space in Hamilton for this event
Feels like it's too early to state that they're on schedule since it's been less than 3 months since they started.There was another post this week stating that they are on schedule to open next year, as planned.
Maybe it's a sign that things will be easier than they expected and that they are ahead of schedule. Hopefully not a sign that shortcuts being taken!Feels like it's too early to state that they're on schedule since it's been less than 3 months since they started.
That restaurant will be interesting! From the article, it says a "Global Canadian Icon" is involved. This may sound insane, but could it be Drake? Shai & Drake are friends & Drake also has ties with Tim Leiweke, former CEO of MLSE and now CEO of Oak View Group, the company behind this project. One can only wonder, but that would be pretty cool!^Also a big restaurant opening at street level. I wonder which side?
Very much doubt that it is Drake. Maybe Matty Matheson.That restaurant will be interesting! From the article, it says a "Global Canadian Icon" is involved.
