I would like to think you're right. But I do recall former councillor and SMU booster Sue Uteck saying two years ago, when possible sites were shortlisted, that Shannon Park was unsuitable, and that fixing up Husky Stadium was only way to go. She voted against proceeding with any new stadium when it became clear the campus was out of the running. "We can’t afford a new stadium, fix up Saint Mary’s," she told Metro Halifax. At taxpayers' expense of course.
Am I having nostaglia for a time that never was in thinking that 50-60 years ago, if the city needed something like this, institutions like the Universities would just plain help out rather than try to turn it into getting something for their own little fiefdom?
