Excellent idea... I've always thought the Forum parking area would do well as a parking structure up to 4 floors with groundfloor retail.
With your idea, it could be dual use... commuters and sportsfans.
If the stadium was put in at Willow park... the walk down the east sidewalk of Windsor (wider sidewalk that the usual btw) could be our equivalent of the "Green Mile" in Regina.
I don't see DND having an issue with giving up the land if HRM negotiates a land swap. The structures are aren't modern and IMO are about the level of what was at King's Wharf.
Maybe we could get some federal funding and put the new DND facility in Burnside and therefore have interdepartmental closeness between DND, RCMP, CCG, and DFO.
