Petition for new stadium in Halifax

cormiermax · January 24th, 2008, 05:57 PM

If you want a new stadium in Halifax put your name on this thread. I don't realy no why we don't already have one. Kinda silly if a city of close to 400,000 dosent have one.

Who is the petition directed towards?

cormiermax · January 25th, 2008, 10:04 PM

HRM the provincial government and federal government

HaliGuy · February 3rd, 2008, 04:02 PM

Yes, a city our size needs a stadium. First thing we need though is a new mayor because a stadium won't happen under our current mayor.

Canadian Chocho · February 3rd, 2008, 11:45 PM

What size? 30K+?

mr.x · February 3rd, 2008, 11:58 PM

ummm...i'd say start out with a stadium with 20,000-25,000 but expandable to 30,000-35,000.

That sounds about right.

Canadian Chocho · February 4th, 2008, 03:56 AM

I'd say 30,000. I think make it a bit too big is better than making it a bit too small.

***Rhino*** · February 4th, 2008, 07:22 AM

so where do we put our names?

I think Halifax can definitely sustain a CFL franchise. It will be the only professional team in the region and should have no problem drawing 30,000 fans per week.

***Rhino*** · February 10th, 2008, 11:24 AM

so , how does anyone posting on this thread help with a stadium ? Or is there a link that isnt here that should be ?

A stadium that size would be too big, it would be a white elephant. Maybe 10,000 would make more sense, (unless you are talking about an outdoor stadium).

I'm sorry, I guess you're lost. We are talking about a stadium not an arena.

BTW, I think a petition should be started on a site like this: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/?s_kwcid=petition|1001538870

No problem, I think Halifax can do that, after all Regina has one. I'm used to hearing BC Place in Vancouver, and Mile One in St. John's referred to as "stadiums".

Not sure what Mile One is but BC Place in Vancouver most definitely IS a stadium (albeit a fully covered one).

Haligonian · February 11th, 2008, 08:47 AM

The distinction I guess is that stadiums have a larger central area suitable for football or soccer. Mile One in St. John's would generally be considered an arena. GM Place in Vancouver is an arena while BC Place is a stadium.

Halifax currently has the Metro Centre, an arena that seats a little under 10,000, and a bunch of smaller venues. Based on recent talk it won't be surprising if a new, larger arena is built before a stadium.

Canadian Chocho · February 11th, 2008, 02:03 AM

I think a 30,000 would be good for Halifax.

cormiermax · February 11th, 2008, 01:44 PM

yeah i think the city wants to build a new arena probably with a capacity of around 15,000 then they will focus on a stadium.
