It is always done? By who? They? The other person?

What one does is assess through professional analysis and consultation desired locations and then you fight for them backed up by mountains of data.

My point is that there already is mountains of data. Most likely this analysis was done with the Metro Centre and the new proposed convention centre. That is why the Metro Centre was built in downtown Halifax and not in Dartmouth.

I've neither said that a new stadium should be close to the universities or far from them. If you read my posts, what I have said is that all locations need to be considered on their merits so that the positives and negatives of different locations can be determined.

You should go back to page 5 of this thread. You had me convinced at that point.

How am I possibly supposed to answer that at this juncture? No feasibility studies have been done. No economic assessments. No public polls have been conducted. We're years away from being able to answer that question. Anyone who thinks they do know is either completely over their head and doesn't understand the complexities of this issue or is sitting on millions of dollars of research that they've conducted and been able to keep secret from absolutely everyone.

This all sounds like a lot of double talk. This is why a stadium never gets built.
