Tim Hortons Field still a possibility for Labour Day Classic

Pan Am stadium builders Ontario Sports Solutions have applied for a temporary occupancy permit so the Hamilton Tiger-Cats can host the Labour Day Classic in their new home.

It’s far from a done deal. City spokesperson Mike Kirkopolous told CHCH News OSS only applied for the use of certain parts of the stadium, the parts it feels certain will be approved for occupancy. they are the east side of the stadium and the lower bowl on the west side.

However if builders manage to get further ahead on the construction of other parts of the stadium, they can add levels and modify their application. Kirkopolous says we should know more about the status of the application at the beginning of next week.

The city needs about five days to inspect the construction to decide whether to grant the permit. Kirkopolous says public safety will be the most important factor in the process.
