One other important part to build a stadium which could save Halifax money is a GMP, Guarantee Maxium Price which Winnipeg is doing with there new stadium.

The statements that you are making are contrary to the real facts. Although I don't understand your obsession with a clear roof like the NS Event rendering by WHW Architects, the NS Events partial roof design looks nothing like the Winnipeg Blue Bombers Design which is a curved style and is white -
http://www.cbc.ca/canada/manitoba/st...d-stadium.html . The renderings of the Frank Clair Stadium renovations show a white roof which is much larger than the Events Nova Scotia rendering and is supported differently -

I doubt that there are any firm plans for a stadium and it sounds like you don't understand the definition of modular which should be a fairly simple term to understand. But if you don't, just look it up -
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/modular. It has nothing to do with being bowl shaped, or made steel or concrete, or being too small to expand.
I think this is the type of stadium that you are thinking of -
http://www.ohiomm.com/blogs/zips/200...ision-stadium/ but I don't know for sure. Instead of making confusing descriptions of a stadium why don't you find a real stadium image on the internet and post it so that people know what you are talking about? Just repeating the same statement over and over again isn't going to get your point across.
PS: I think this is the Ottawa Stadium rendering (below) that you are talking about. (However, it is about 20,000 seats and obviously can't be expanded to 45,000 - 50,000 as you keep demanding). However, the Ottawa Council instead decided to renovate Frank Clair Stadium. One thing that I have learned over the past year is that renderings are often done to look impressive but not necessarily realistic.

But to have a large roof overhang without any internal supports, this is the type of support structure that you would need (Winnipeg Stadium proposal). This also shows why it is so costly with all the stadium concourses and massive roof structure - this is why I suggested some internal support columns.

Wesipel, you have me confused and annoyed because I don't know why you keep insisting that I have inside information (I don't). A year ago on January 19 2010 I went to Halifax City Hall and left this physical model with Councillors Sloane, Hendsbee and Blumenthal (Councillor Watts was also at the meeting). I had done a 3D computer model and from that, a co-worker (Ho Tan Nguyen) built a physical model. Is this the bowl shaped model that you are referring to below (I am the funny looking person on the right).

I don't have any reason to believe that the HRM is planning to build such a stadium (if they do then the roof will need some internal supports). I estimated this to be expandable to 40,000 but I could be wrong. I have drawn many other 3D models since that time.
Whether you consider me to be "nasty" in my response to you isn't going to illicit any apology from me. You should consider some internet formalities such as not typing in all capital letters (it is analogous to yelling at people in type) and you shouldn't keep insisting that people aren't being honest with you (I don't have any inside information on what HRM council is planning).
