Can`t built a stadium like Moncton`s not big enough for a CFL team
Moncton are having that problem now and I believe that is part of the reason they haven`t signed a new deal yet mainly because of the cost to make it a 20,000 make shift stadium which needs to go to 25,000 and by what Mr. cohon said at the Grey Cup that the CFL wants Moncton to expand their stadium permanently to 28 thousand permanent seats, with 20 plus skyboxes and permanent inside stadium concourses or they don`t qualify for a CFL franchise. Moncton can`t expand the smaller better side of the stadium which was a big mistake when they built it, they probably have to start all over on the other side and build double decker and bowl the endzones to reach 28 thousand which will cost them another 50 million plus because they built it wrong. The same exact thing would happen at Saint Mary`s which does not have the room because of the tower but could have a mickey mouse stadium like Moncton`s which is not suited and big enough with the necessary features needed for a CFL owner to survive. So why built it!
Halifax is not Moncton with only 125 thousand people and if Montreal wouldn`t have put in 19 more skyboxes and a new upper deck with a new concourse and expanded the other side of stadium as well to minium of 25 thousand, they would have not been able to continue losing money and that is why they had to expand and put in more skyboxes and more seats. All Halifax are doing is helping Saint Mary`s get a better facility than what they have, a small tiny liittle micxkey mouse stadium for Sue Utech. her Sue Utech Special.
When this happens I will be leaving city for good, it`s a joke and the city of Halifax is a joke. Fenwick you are wrong on your last post, totatly wrong!
