I would really like to see a stadium built in a central location in Halifax. I think that councilors and businessmen in Halifax already know that the best location would be in a central location close to the universities, hotels, restaurants and highest population density. This is why they staged the large concerts on the Commons. They could have put these concerts out in the Mainland Commons, Enfield (near the motorway), any park in Dartmouth, etc. These all have good highway access. So I believe that the HRM councilors probably just don't want to fight the opponents.

A central location has proven to be a good location for the Metro Centre and other venues throughout North America. Just look at where most new stadiums and arenas are built. I really believe that the Wanderers Grounds is an ideal location. So why go with a secondary location?
