The West Hamilton Ward was a potential host site for the venue, a fact that incumbent Councillor Brian McHattie passionately opposed. During the election, McHattie ran on a campaign of continuing a push for light rail transit, expanded HSR bus service and improved environmental and anti-poverty projects.O'Reilly, Nicole. "Ward 1 woes: Pan Am, poverty, transit," The Hamilton Spectator, Oct. 15 2010, News.

All three candidates vocally opposed the Pam Am Stadium being placed in Ward One.
