Here is the funding breakdown for the Moncton Stadium for reference:

Thanks for the information Waye Mason - nice find. I think if ACOA could contribute $15 million then that would be about the best that we could all hope for. I am still hoping that the HRM will set up a building fund to give individuals a chance to contribute. Then if a corporate sponsor could be found to match the individual contributions it could possibly amount to a significant amount of money.
I agree with terrynorthend, the BMO Field received a significant contribution from the federal government which doesn't seem right. The problem that I see, is that there are too many extravagant sports proposals seeking federal funds right now.
