It has been estimated that the Parliment buildings in Ottawa will cost 5 billion dollars to renovate (yes that is billion, not million). Can't Ottawa spare a few million dollars on a Halifax area stadium?

The Nova Centre could be the test... if we can't get something built with federal money that was completely pre-planned, I doubt a stadium will happen.
The DND site is prett much perfect... I would position it a bit further south than your placement (Front of Stadium in line with front of superstore... put a big pavillion with a monument to the Navy/Halifax explosion out front. It could be done in the style of the seaport farmers market Samuel Cunard area.
That way there would be lots of room for people to congregate at the front of the stadium for entrance.
