[ATL Stadium]

I want to add my 2 cents worth.....again.

The peninsula accounts for only a percentage of what is now HRM. The areas of growth are all on the outside of the peninsula....the reason for that is of course the availability of land. Sackville, Hammonds Plains, Bedford Basin, Dartmouth, Cole Harbour, Colby are all very fast growing areas because of the lack of traffic and parking issues....and yes we all drive because we have poor transportation access. I dont have any numbers but endeavour to get some....but I would wager that more people live and work off the peninsula than on it.......
The university population certainly swells when class is in session but again I would think that a high percentage are not in residence....so they travel in to school.
If you were to step back a bit and look at high school populations as an indicator of where people live....the answer is pretty simple....the families of HRM are outside of the peninsula......yes the ticket buying family for almost any sort of event.

I pointed out earlier a site along the 102 at Kearney Lake Rd....an older quarry right at the off/on ramps that has only a few years left in its rocky life cycle....easy access...easy land available...very close to Bayers Lake Shopping....park and ride....I think it makes perfect sense to build a Stadium right there.....but hey there are similar site on the Dartmouth side....

A peninsula Stadium is simply to hard to access. ( my opinion of course).
