I tend to agree. In a lot of cases I think the people who mention Cogswell, etc. simply haven't looked at the amount of space available and the hypothetical footprint of a stadium.
The North End could be good. Shannon Park is probably more likely. I think it would be OK, as long as there's a good redevelopment of the whole area and some investment in transit, probably including a ferry terminal. I actually have a little more faith in this being pulled off now than I would have a few years ago, and the harbour setting is interesting and fairly unique.
