The stadium situation is likewise not directly analogous. The Moncton stadium with its track is probably not a step along the path to getting the CFL, and Halifax has built other stuff (like the Canada Games Centre around the same time; both cities landed different sporting events and built different infrastructure to suit them).
I'm just talking about the idea that Halifax is behind or somehow incapable of building Moncton-level infrastructure which pops up every so often in these discussions. Moncton built a $17M stadium and Halifax said no to a $150M+ stadium. It's not really comparable.

Yeah, that stadium in Moncton doesn't look like it is any advantage over Halifax for a future team. If Moncton got a team, there isn't anything they would improve on with that stadium, they would start fresh, there or elsewhere.
