Not a chance. The Africville activists would cry foul, claim racism, demand reparations, make a land claim - something to throw a wrench in the works for sure. And a stadium right on the harbour's edge guarantees cold, windy conditions when the rest of the area is nice. That is one of the drawbacks of Shannon Park as well. HRM would also need to make the north part of Barrington where it becomes the MacKay approaches more than a single lane of traffic, something it has steadfastly avoided doing for nearly 50 years
