Oh yeah, football (cdn and american) are both highly watched in Canada and the CFL is doing alot better than it was. Halifax is a huge football town. Honestly, we are more of a football town than Saskatoon... they just have a team because it is a western focused league and are a bit bigger. I grew up going to SMU games and high school football and the passion for the game is definitely here.
The stadium could be used for many things... and might be a good venue for concerts as an alternative to the commons to quiet the NIMBYs. Halifax would be able to host world class sports events.
