The article in the allnovascotia.com was titled Stadium's Business Case Not Sexy Enough - June 30th, 2011 by Amy Pugsley Frazer.

A few people from the advisory committee were asked for the reason for the low numbers at the open houses, and they seemed to think that it was because it is just the business plan stage. I tend to agree, I think the next phase (stadium design phase) will be of more interest. I also think that many people still don't believe that a stadium will be built (since it has been talked about since 1982). One tell-tale sign is that Bruce DeVenne and other naysayers haven't jumped on board yet with endless articles and comments against building it (surely we would have heard more from these people by now).

What are the opinions of others on this forum - of the people that you know, how much interest is there in a stadium for the Halifax area? How many people, other than ones on this forum, actually realize that a study is currently being conducted on building a Halifax area stadium?

Im sure the facebook group has a solid membership
