Looks like things are looking up for an Ottawa CFL team, where previously things looked bleak. Apparently council will vote as to whether they will enter negotiations with Hunt's group to redo Lansdowne Park with assorted real estate development and an updated Frank Clair Stadium.
Looks like Eugene Melnyk's idea to build a soccer stadium out in that far from Ottawa centre suburban wasteland Kanata for a theoretical, if somewhat unlikely MLS franchise has been given the boot. Putting a stadium in exurbia seems to have died out in North America (witness the quick kiboshing to the idea of putting the new Ticat stadium in Confederation Park), so Melnyk probably didn't have much of a chance unless he was willing to pay for everything.
