While we're at it, let's get this part straightened out. While a CFL team is the impetus for this project it would be crazy to suggest they will be the sole benefactors. The only way for this to work is to have everyone benefit. Pro football, university football, local minor football, community soccer, rugby, lacrosse, winter community usage with a bubble, offices and community meeting rooms, this is the only way it will be a total success. Earlier in the thread I detailed some other ideas that could possibly be implemented to create usage.
Again we would have to look at the Ottawa model, and
that is relevant because that is what the Halifax ownership group says they are basing their plans on and see what kind of usage they are getting out of their facility and see if that is relatable or not to this situation.
