This is why I believe that the stadium should be in the best location or simply not be built at all. Having it close to SMU may also encourage SMU to contribute funds and vocal support.
I feel at times that I am hogging this thread with all my posts however I really look forward to the day when I can attend an event at the new Halifax Stadium with 30,000 others. I hope that this stadium will be on the Halifax peninsula where I can see the city as opposed to being out in the suburbs.

Why are you assuming that feasibility, transportation, environmental, economic, etc. studies wouldn't be done before fighting for a specific location/design/etc? Obviously all due diligence would have to be done first. There is a process to these things.
