We just found out yesterday here during this disgusting Pan-Am stadium debate, that we're on the brink of losing the Tiger-Cats and relocation is very much possible.
As much as I wish our team to stay here after 130 years, it looks very cloudy. So Halifax, here's your chance for an owner to buy the team...upgrade Huskies stadium or build a new one, and I'll be down there in a couple of years. They say it's a small market, but look at the Riders. Halifax has a larger market than that and could easily support a team.

I am glad to hear that you enjoyed your visit to Halifax.
I agree that Halifax needs a sports team such as a CFL team to attract people to the city and to help retain people who are residents. However, I would not want to see the Tiger-Cats move out of Hamilton. If teams such as Hamilton move or shut down then the CFL will be diminished as a league. I hope that Halifax will eventually get an expansion team in a strong CFL.
