I will check the grain elevators location (are these still in use?). If the Salter Street development doesn't proceed then a stadium at that location might work, and since it is owned by the Port Authority, it might be available (I think they were planning to lease, not sell it, it for the Salter Street development).

We can rule out one more site (the Wanderers Grounds).
I still think you could shoehorn a stadium in between Bayne St. and Bedford Basin. This is the old Africville site between Seaview Park and Ceres container terminal. Perhaps a bit of infill would be required but we would have a Candlestick Park and a boardwalk and marina could be added.
