Tim Hortons Field

The Tiger Cats new stadium will be called Tim Hortons Stadium. With over 35 hundred Tim Hortons locations in Canada, the very first of the canadian franchise was in Hamilton Ontario. The Tim Hortons franchise was started by Ron Joyce and his partner Tim Horton.
Ron Joyce Stadium is located on the Mcmaster campus and now his partner Tim Horton will have his own stadium as well.
Although several Hamiltonians and Ti-Cats fans are not overly thrilled with the decision to change the name of Ivor Wynn , due to the lengthy history of the stadium and it's history with the team. The name change will still hold history for Hamilton. The Stadium will continue to stay Ivor Wynn in several Hamiltonians hearts.

As for me .. I'm not so sure i'm comfortable with it. I feel like Tim Hortons should have a hockey arena instead. Due to the fact that Hockey and Tim Hortons go hand in hand .. and Tim Horton was a hockey player here in Canada. It just seems like that would have been a better fit.
