Halifax Stadium Discussion

[Welkin]

Not a bad spot, but to make it really work you need to do a little more urban renewal. In addition to the Willow Park property, the city should also buy and tear down the Atlantic Super Store, relocate the electrical substation and maybe buy up some of the land that is now a car lot. That would give you plenty of land for a proper stadium, minimal on-site parking and public transportation areas. Keep in mind that almost all of the NFL stadiums that were built in downtown areas involved massive urban renewal projects (either for the current stadium or for the previous stadium) that involved clearing several blocks of downtown areas. I don't see historic Halifax clearing several blocks for a downtown stadium, but maybe they will clear most of this block for a potential stadium.
