I would prefer like you Fenwick a similar style stadium to Ottawa first design which I`m going to try to find with two idential sides with 30 skyboxes and 25 thousand seats with open endzones for expansion. I apparently this stadium can be seen on line if I could remember the country. It sounded like a foreign country. I will try to find out, meanwhile can you Fenwick put together a 25 thousand permanent seat model both idential double decked sides 12,500 permanent seats on each side with concourses, washrooms and concession stands with 10 to 12 skyboxes on each side of stadium and maybe more depending where you put the press boxes and club seats.
Fenwick please email to me at... wespidel@hfx.eastlink.ca.... and I will forward it the source who his presenting the designs.
By the Fenwick just to reassure you this is a 60 to 70 million dollar stadium not a 30 million. I don`t want to reveil the source of information I`m giving because it`s private information but it will be public very soon and this is the design that the city Halifax are keen on, cost wise and size for the money and I believe the best deal presented to them at this point.

I read quite a bit about the Ottawa renovations but it is a more complex model than my simple concept (I was more interested in all the information that was given on building safety code requirements). I based my concepts more on the InfoCision Stadium in Akron and the Plaster Sports Complex in Springfield, Missouri which are simpler than the Ottawa Stadium. Although I looked at the Ottawa roof design, I spent much more time looking at European stadium roof designs since most of the European Stadiums have partial roofs. I spent quite a bit of time looking at the Cardiff City Stadium design and Swansea Liberty Stadium. I think because the UK gets so much rain similar to the Maritimes, they have seen the benefits of having a partial (or complete) roof on their stadiums.
Here is a list of European Stadiums -

PS: I don't know anything about what stadium they are thinking of but this is one that has been mentioned on this forum quite a bit - The Cardiff City Stadium in Cardiff, Wales -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiff_City_Stadium . I would certainly be happy with this type of design.
