Did anyone else see Copps Coliseum on Saturday Night Live this weekend? It briefly flashed on the screen at the very beginning of the show. They used it to set up a sketch about an 80s women's bowling tournament.
I have to admit they probably chose Copps because it looks....well, like it would be the perfect place to host an bowling tournament circa 1986. But still, out of all the stadiums in the world, ours got the spotlight.
So, Hamiltonians, take heart. We may not be able to claim that Copps hosts an NHL team. But we can say that it made a celebrity appearance on Saturday Night Live.
They should of put city council in front of it, people would still be laughing

Who cares Emma, lets have some comment on potential tax hikes.

Burke Austin - I care! It doesn't have to be all work, all the time. There's a little room for levity on this blog amongst all the political drama.

I'm guessing it was stock footage they found, but it appeared once again in yesterday's SNL episode.

I saw it again this past weekend, and it looked like a different shot than the ones used previously.

Maybe to make amends to the child not allowed on the ice because of his wheelchair, council should direct the rec department to offer free ice time at Copps Coliseum or a city arena of the family's choice to hold a fundraising skateathon for their charity.
