I don't think Moncton is in the mix to host a CFL team. They are hosting one and possibly more CFL games over the next few years.
Agreed. I don't think Moncton could possibly sustain a CFL team.
Moncton can cash in big on one off "events" like concerts etc. where people can plan ahead for a one to three hour drive there from Hfx, Freddy or SJ.
But big league sports depends on "casual" attendees; local people who just take in a game on a Saturday after shopping or whatever.
And there are more people within 25k of any proposed Halifax stadium than there are in all of Southern New Brunswick.
