I agree with that summation.

But does Halifax still have a chance. And if Moncton did get a team, there would be almost zero chance of Halifax getting one right?
Anyway, if Halifax were to get a team I would be the first one there watching.

Doesn't the argument about the larger population within an hours drive of Moncton not include Halifax? Halifax is 2.5 hours away. They could arguably each support a team. Having a team in both cities might even strengthen attendance due to an instant rivalry. There are 800,000 people in New Brunswick and just under 1 million in Nova Scotia. If Sasktachewan can do it with the same population spread out over a larger land mass, so can each of these Maritime cities.
If Halifax gets a team, you can reserve a seat next to me. I live in Toronto now, but would travel to as many games in Halifax as I could. It would be interesting to see how many fans a Maritime team would get at the Skydome. There's an awful lot of east coasters in Toronto. You see the same phenomenon at Calgary Stampeder games. A sea of Rider Green.
