One block away there's also somewhere in the range of 500-1,000 parking spots in parkades, and two blocks away is the busiest bus corridor in the city. More parking could be built into Citadel Hill if needed.
There are no immediately adjacent residents to annoy.
It's an amazing spot for a stadium. Basically as good as it gets in an existing urban setting.

I did a little fiddling with MS Paint and Google Maps and found that Mosaic stadium would fit in the Halifax commons with some of the realignments you suggested. I agree that the commons is the best place for a regional stadium for the Maritimes.
