Relax Spyder. I never sent any emails suggesting the Cardiff City Stadium design. I was just trying to get some information from you (I was guessing based on what you posted). Several Councillors read this forum and I am sure they have read your suggestions. I doubt that they will be basing anything on my suggestions (however if anyone comes up with good suggestions then they might want to hear them). There are engineers, planners and at least one architect (maybe more) who are employed by the city so they have the human resources to develop a good design. Also the Hardman Group that was the project manager for the Metro Centre and Metro Park could put together a team to build a new stadium. So there is no shortage of talent in the Maritimes.
I tend to agree with you about an expandable stadium and this is the type that seems to be popular in the CFL.
PS: I hope that I didn't give you the impression that I have an inside track on what is happening regarding a stadium in the HRM. I am just a sports nut who likes to dig up information regarding stadiums. The only information that I have is what I read (including your posts).
