A bargain basement option, but probably the best Halifax can hope for, since small minded thinking seems to rule the day. Lets make it happen. Halifax needs PROFESSIONAL sports.

If bigger bare bones or temporary stadiums are successful that makes it more likely that a major stadium will be built in the long run.

Had the original strategy been to develop an expandable site over time, with bite-sized funding requests for the municipality, I bet Halifax would have already had a CFL-suitable stadium by now.

Halifax already has professional sports.

You're right. I should have been more specific. Professional sports that I care about.

Your need to disparage it (presumably because you don't agree with it) is baffling. I don't agree with a lot of what Bousquet says either, but that doesn't mean I don't recognize and accept it as journalism.

It is really no different than the former POTUS and his "fake news" diatribes. If Bousquet wants to post opinion and commentary for his loyal bobbleheads, he should clearly label it as that, since that audience has shown they believe he is reporting actual fact, not opinions.

I've long advocated for a Molson style stadium at SMU. But put the larger grandstand on the east side, by redeveloping and integrating it in/above the Tower and hockey arena complexes, both expanding those facilities and providing indoor access to and amenities for the stadium.

Bousquet has never pretended that his product isn't op-ed in nature. It's opinion wrapped around solid reporting.

For that matter, Google Halifax Examiner and see what comes up: "An independent, investigative, adversarial news site".
