I agree, it would be cheaper for a station at Victoria Park, because the line doesn't have to be extended to it the way it does at Hamilton. But, railway stations aren't just useful for stadia alone. There are already thousands of people living in Hamilton that can use public transport every day of the year, and the government wants thousands more people to live there in future. So it'll be used. And providing transport infrastructure for residents is politically much more popular to spend money on than stadiums. That has to be considered given who is making the decisions.A new rail Station at Victoria Park is still way cheaper than the rail Hamilton proposal.
