We have no idea of who you really are, since you never give your real name. You might just be a person who is opposed to a stadium and want to discourage a stadium from being built in Halifax. You are certainly having that effect on me.
Could you provide sources for your facts? For example, links to quotations by Mark Cohon stating that Halifax must build a $200 million dollar stadium to get a CFL team. I posted one source recently in which Mark Cohon stated that the Toronto Argonauts need a more intimate stadium than the Rogers Centre. I posted one about a year ago in which a CFL league representative said that a modular $75 million dollar stadium would do for a CFL team.
It would also be helpful if you state what a bare-bones stadium is. Do you mean one with no VIP suites? I think VIP suites are needed for a CFL team but even low cost stadiums can have VIP suites or be built so that they can be added.
I will take a break from this thread for a while for the sake of all those on this forum who are tired of these debates - my apologies for the endless debates about a stadium that has no actual proposal.
