Good point. It would be awesome to get another Mosaic or IGF, but the reality is that the city is (more than likely) is going to be responsible for a large portion of the capital cost of a stadium and I just don't see the council going for a stadium in the $180 Million+ range. A more "bare bones" version in the $130 Million range is much more likely to move ahead. The model in Regina is proven, but it's not like that in Halifax, theres still a large crowd of anti stadium at any cost.

When news first broke about this a year and a half ago now, you kept hearing that they were trying to adopt the "Ottawa model" with condos, restaurant/retail etc, but I havent heard any further details in the past few months.
