The wording makes it sound like they don't want to build it with private money only They have their hand out. The CEO of Woodbine says "Time for the appropriate authorities to recognize this opportunity & support it." Support it = fund it.

Not knowing enough about the ins and outs of this project, could he also be referring to things like zoning? I imagine a project this would would have some administrative, legal and regulatory hurdles, beyond the obvious financial ones.

Unnamed Trialist Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Has anyone posted the web link for the company being run by Rob Friend and Shillington? I finally took a look and must say, pretty good. At least promising. https://sixfivestadiums.com/ narduch, Aird25 and Ansem 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to guess they are supposed to build the York United stadium at Woodbine race track if that ever gets off the ground.

Those type of stadiums can be built very quickly, easy to expand and on the cheaper side. Edited February 9, 2023 by Ansem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Seems odd to think about the business angle. You'd think if they're overly profiteering then clubs would find other options. Of which many. But if they're doing it to facilitate the growth of the league and making deals sweet for clubs, it may be a great formula. I personally prefer poured concrete.

Kent Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Man I really hope York United does end up in a stadium like that. The current stadium isn't exactly inspiring, even if the location is pretty decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masster Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Burnaby city council is looking at options of what to do with Swangard stadium. Apparently this process all started because some groups approached the city about partnership arrangements or 'anchor tenancy'. Some of the options include increasing stadium capacity to 10,000. One even considers removing the track...which I think is unlikely. https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/swangard-stadium-revitalization-upgrade-burnaby NVsoccer, johnyb, narduch and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad_Impact Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 (edited) Are there talks of a legit SSS in Halifax? You'd think they want this now to take advantage of the hype before it dies down I understand this stuff costs money but real football experiences in real football stadiums will always bring people back more than the quality on the field, especially at this level.

Ozzie_the_parrot Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 (edited) There is a city council meeting in Halifax about the future of the Wanderers Ground this week apparently: The problem is likely to be is that the CFL wants to expand to Halifax so it's difficult to see a 10,000 seat stadium with a $20 million price tag getting built with public sector funding for soccer only. The current lease for the Wanderers Grounds popup only runs through 2024 apparently. Edited September 13, 2023 by Ozzie_the_parrot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzie_the_parrot Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 Looks like that wouldn't be CFL compatable although there is a lot of space left empty at one end maybe so they could host lower level gridiron games. Would there really only be two floodlight pylons on one side? Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
