Presumably they can plan a $130M stadium in a way that allows them to add bells and whistles after.
There isn't much difference between the $70-90M soccer-oriented stadium HRM council voted in favour of funding a while ago and a $130M stadium that is suitable for the CFL. And I think it's well worth it for the city if they can show that it will be used by many different groups. The promoters need to try to frame this as a request for funding for shared public infrastructure that happens to be useful to a CFL team, not a "CFL stadium" or funding for the CFL. The city should make sure that if they are funding it the facility is of practical use to other local groups, not just a CFL team.
