Each has one route directly servicing it, each of which operates at a 30 minute frequency 7 days a week (exception being the 51 which services Shannon Park, which is 60 minute service on Sundays)
However as has been said, HRM would almost certainly run shuttle services during events, no matter where it's located. They do for the concerts on the Common, they do for things like the Air Show, Tall Ships festivals, etc.

Hold on a second my eager friend, I never said Exhibition Park is easy to get to, in fact I find it quite a drag to drive out there. It's in the middle of nowhere, I agreed with you on that.
Shannon Park on the other hand I would say
is easier to get to than your two examples, the Mainland Commons or West End Mall, if travelling by car, which I believe the majority will be using no matter where the stadium is located. Shannon Park is just on the Dartmouth side of the MacKay Bridge, a four lane span, and is adjacent to highway 111 which can easily bring people in from outside of the metro area, via highways 102 and 107, as well as Victoria Road for folks coming in from along the 101.
The only thing needed is a reconfiguration of the on/off ramps by the toll booths, however in my opinion that's a needed upgrade reglardless of what gets built at Shannon Park.

Smart aleck? What is your problem anyway? I'm not allowed to disagree with your opinion without being called a smart aleck? Maybe you need to step back and take a breather. We're all here for the same reasons, to get a stadium built in Halifax. Personal attacks don't advance anyone's position.
