Halifax Stadium Discussion

[Keith P.]

Given the financial state of the province's books, you can forget about any provincial funding for something like this in Halifax. Meanwhile, once Shawn Graham sells off NB Power he will have pockets full of cash to toss at projects like a stadium.

I don't mind an economical stadium, but I don't like the "temporary stands and a football field" concept. You are tying up a valuable chunk of property and you need certain facilities to be installed to make it viable. Far better to design what you need and build it rather than cobble together a bunch of temporary junk that won't last.
