Halifax Stadium Discussion

[someone123]

You make a good point. It feels to me like there's a desire to keep this project "modest"/"minimalist" which resulted in an artificial 10,000 seat target, but for whatever reason $60M or so is the number being thrown around. Normally you'd just have one of those things follow from the other (e.g. budget, then prioritized requirements).

If they go with a brownfield type of site maybe a significant portion of the money would be eaten up by costs other than stadium construction, like remediation and transportation-related infrastructure. As I've said before this seems like the best way to go. I think Halifax would get a lot more out of a centrally-located stadium. It would cost a bit more but those costs are not significant over the lifetime of such a major piece of infrastructure. A stadium is exactly the type of important thing you want to put in a good location, and Halifax has many underused sites.
