Halifax NLL Team

[dtown]

My initial thoughts are:

A) It's interesting that the Halifax team is a relocated franchise and not a new franchise. (Or is it? The articles don't seem clear, just stating that Rochester is no more and Halifax is getting a "new" team.) This probably means there will be little to no loyalty to the Halifax region, and if things don't start out to well it may not last long.

B) The Scotiabank Center is going to be jam packed with events from November to April. The Mooseheads, Hurricanes and Privateers (awesome name BTW, too bad the CFL couldn't get that) all play during these months and i imagine a lot of Monday, Tuesday home games for the NLL which probably isn't ideal.

C) All of a sudden we went from having just the Mooseheads (and Hurricanes I suppose) for our sports and entertainment dollar and all of a sudden we have a new soccer team, a lacrosse team and possibly (probably?) a CFL team. Of course I want to see the NLL have success in Halifax because it's good for the region overall, but my gut feeling is that they missed the boat and it could be tough to be financially stable. Pherhaps Halifax is already over saturated. I hope I'm wrong.
