Sorry to re-post, but no one commented on my idea on 'Stadium Discussion' thread, and I'd really like to know what you guys think about the two locations I mentioned (see below).

"I'm really in favour of a peninsula location for the stadium. Originally, I liked the Gorsebrook pit (where the softball fields are). Currently underutilized. Equidistant between Dal and St. Mary's to capture the most students, and easily within walking distance for thousands. Plus, it's already sunken. Kids visiting the IWK would have ready-made skyboxes!

I was up on the citadel on a sunny weekday recently, and looked down at the Wanderer's grounds. I'm not sure if the site is quite big enough for the kind of stadium that we would all like to see, but I think, on balance, this is a pretty great location too. The new YMCA would be across the street and well-positioned to run some of their programs on site. I'm not sure if this would be a natural partnership, but it seems like it could be pretty beneficial for the Y if handled correctly. And maybe, just maybe, the community might be more accepting of this location if the Y were involved."
