I caught a lot of it. It was split 50/50 as far as the public goes. That means almost 200 000 people would support it. More than enough fans to fill seats. It was decided that calling it a Football Stadium is what's hurting it. Football alone cannot support a stadium in Halifax. It has to be marketed as a Multi-Purpose Stadium. Friends of the common and other groups should be pro this stadium as it would get concerts off the Common.
Someone again mentioned Burnside as a place for the stadium. I disagree fully on that as its about the furthest from any CORE population you can get and no real public transit to get people to and from. I like the West End Mall proposal because of location and access to transit.
