Halifax Stadium Discussion

[wespidel]

Councillor Walker mentioned the Peter MacKay who has power to get money from Harper to support a major stadium for Halifax was said to be on local TV and said that the site he was on would be a perfect site to build a stadium in Halifax. Did anyone see that TV clip to know what site he was referring to. Anyway I believe Mayor Kelly and council are seriuos and they said if the first two phases are improved the stadium will be completed by Jan. 2014 and construction would begin early in 2012. Also only one councillor voted against phase one going ahead and that was Rankin, who said to me a year ago at a CBC inforamtion promo at Pier 21 that if he had anything to do with it, Halifax will never get a stadium. I replied you should be tossed out of council for that statement.

I really believe the potiental CFL owner will be at the table, especially after hearing Mark Cohon say today that they will be definitely interested in talking to Halifax about a stadium and a CFL franchise and that he and the CFL would like to explore all options where there are new stadiums being build!
