HRM's planning office and the DMV got kicked out of West End Mall because it's going to undergo redevelopment (of some sort). So I don't know if this would be a viable location for a stadium.

We had talked about CFB Windsor (what's left of it) - what about (and this is really out there) combining that site; the forum site and then the post office distribution station? Perhaps even the NS goverment building and the adjacent strip mall?

You could then make the stadium part of a massive parcel re-work for the forum and a stadium? On big multi-use site in the centre of the peninsula? The only problem would be Young Street - but since I"m thinking pie in the sky here anyway - you could always dig up the road and drop it under the whole thing?
