I posted this in the CFL Maritimes thread.
Monctons
Track & Field stadiums bleachers are really far away from the field in order to accommodate the track.
This is why when Halifax builds its stadium it needs to build a nice tight
Football stadium without the track.
I think that involving the university's (SMU & DAL) is good, however we should not worry about proximity to their location too much. SMU can keep its track and field and do some minor upgrades to Huskies stadium (Huskies can still practice at Huskies Stadium). The new Halifax Stadium would be used for any football games played by the universities, the CFL and other events like concerts.
We need to pick 2 or 3 locations that we think are best suited and also likely available for the city to purchase without much opposition. This way when someone in this city starts to clue into the fact that the public want a stadium we can suggest these locations to help things along.
