I must be missing something. I have been in other cities where the noise from the airport can easily be heard outside, to the point of being a nuisance. Through modern building methods in noise isolation you can't even hear them inside. Granted that level of noise isolation is likely above the standard code but it is possible. A limitation requiring a higher level of noise isolation in residential within the airport zone would make more sense than an outright ban.
A further question I have is how was the City not aware of this restriction when calling for proposals for the Stadium site? This really calls into question if that was done fairly and in a completely above board manner. It is even more troubling knowing it was awarded to Shindico and the other allegations they were treated favourable by the previous civic government.
