The 67's and Landsdowne were a perfect match then Harold and Earl created the team.
Landsdowne was the place for sports and entertainment.
As with everything else times have changed. The people that lived in the Glebe enjoyed the Exhibition. Heck, a lot of them made money from it.
The bands that were brought it were top flight and the roughriders were winning and competitive.
Unfortunately, now the new people are noise adverse and don't want any traffic on their streets.
People have moved out of Ottawa.
Would the team do well if it was moved to another location downtown? I don't think so. The problem is that the city is not going to build a new arena for the 67's in any other location.
At this time the only location that would work is either OSEG or cohabitate with the Sens.
Cohabitating may not be that bad a thing. It just means that there would have to be an agreement that the Fronts play on Friday nights with games on Sat and Sunday.
That would work if people remember Earl was able to work a deal with the Sens for a special admission where people could get tickets to both games in a package.
It will be interesting to see what the environmentalists think about the high rises along the canal.
You really cannot compare Ottawa to Kingston or London.
Both are the only game in town.
