I can confirm these times as I've driven these routes. |
Difference between the two circles above is that it's a 3 hour drive to the epicenter of the Saskatchewan circle for 100% of population in that circle.
But it's more than a 4 hour drive to epicenter of the Maritimes circle. The Maritime circle should but doesn't represent about people in same 3 hour drive.
ie Sydney to Halifax shows as 4hours & 15 mins on Google Maps if you don't stop for gas or a pee break, add another hour to top of Cape Breton highlands at top of circle.
PEI is over 3 & a half hour drive from everywhere in that Province to Halifax.
Plus a $50 toll on the bridge. I doubt there will be many PEIslanders getting season tickets to cheer on a Halifax CFL team.
Most of New Brunswick's population is at least 4 hours drive from Halifax.
Driving in the Maritimes, isn't nearly as direct as driving on The Prairies no matter how you draw a circle.
Even though CFL games that had been hosted in the Maritimes had spectator exhaustion by the end of it & ended up not selling out the last time CFL game that went to Moncton, & Even though you can't bottle something like Saskatchewan has with Rider Nation. I still hope that the region can pull it off & Halifax does get a team
hip hip hurray for 'Maritime Schooners' CFL team
