Jason Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 I was watching the CIS football matchups yesterday and was thinking with the new Fieldturf at Huskie Stadium in Halifax that the stadium is probably sufficient for a USL D1 club. Isn't the capacity about 5000? I realize that having a decent stadium is only a first step, but I thought it was worth discussion. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dave Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 it never ceases to amaze me how ugly gridiron football lines are... why would the fans of american football even want those things marking up their field? They always have a down marker and an official's tape measure anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brutal. TSN showed the very first game of the CSL from that "facility". It started to pour rain and within minutes one of their cameras shorted out live on air.

I think the Pioneers drew better out on the Quebec side of the Outaouais than they did at the equally lame Terry Fox in Ottawa as the Intrepid.

Daniel Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Nothing, although I've never been. You're asking if that stadium is good enough for USL D1. I'm stating that it looks pretty ragged to be a D1 stadium compared to what's there now (Atlanta is moving into a SSS). How is capacity 5k if there's only stands on one side?
