I don't think this is very accurate. The stadium the Wanderers play in is 7,500 and Moncton's is 8,300.
In Halifax, the municipality is looking at spending over $100M to improve the Wanderers site. The problem is so far they're not looking at CFL standards and there's resistance to relocating any other uses. I think that if the lawn bowling has to go for a useful larger stadium, it should be a no-brainer. The largest obstacle isn't money or public will, it's bureaucracy and scope creep. It would be a mistake to spend over $100M of public dollars and not contribute to something at least along the path of getting a CFL-ready stadium, IMO (like something expandable, even if it doesn't have 25,000 seats today).
