I wonder if reporting like this contributes to poor understanding and a lack of direction. The parcel of publicly-owned land there isn't too small, it's enormous. The problem is that the municipality doesn't want to relocate other uses such as lawn bowling. The proposed stadium project is a bit bizarre in that the budget is over $100M but the seating would barely be expanded and there are various unrelated proposed improvements, like adding a new conservatory.
