Halifax approves downtown pop-up soccer stadium in bid for new team
Quote:
"We’re that much closer to being awarded a franchise,” Sports Entertainment Atlantic president Derek Martin said. “The league was waiting to see how things would work here for us in Halifax. We had a lot of the details worked out but we just had no where to play.”
The team’s home field would be at the Wanderers Grounds, a four-hectare natural turf sports field on the Halifax Commons.
The Halifax Football Club, a possible name for the team, would have a 7,000 seat stadium and host 10 regular season games during the league’s first season in 2018.
