I know the Willow Park buildings are in rough shape, I just was unaware they were planning to replace them. I guess working at Shearwater I got used to the idea of operating out of ancient buildings/hangars

Umm..why hack up a stadium, when there are existing CFL stadiums with a 30k capacity?
Mosaic Stadium in Regina and Winnipeg Stadium are both what you're looking for, and you don't have to chop them up.

Part of this land is already set aside for a future bus terminal, and the local residents are shitting themselves enough over that. I would love to see the looks on their faces if you proposed this to them

Umm... there's a liquor store there and some streets which you seem to be forgetting about. Never seen a stadium built on stilts before, but...

More DND property, and this time I'm quite certain there are no plans to displace this facility.

On a hillside park to the south of the Dartmouth Sportsplex. One section of stands could be built right into the hill.

Leighton Dillman Park (part of the Dartmouth Common) is basically Dartmouth's version of the Public Gardens. No, not as grand (or popular), but quite nice. I think building a stadium on stilts would be easier.

I've already expressed my thoughts on building a stadium on the Common, and how that would be virtually impossible.
