Maritime CFL expansion proposes Halifax-area stadium at Shannon Park
HALIFAX — The company hoping to bring a CFL team to Halifax has proposed Shannon Park, along the east side of the city’s harbour, as the site for a 24,000-seat stadium.
The proposal from Maritime Football Ltd. estimates construction costs between $170 million and $190 million, with the municipal and provincial governments expected to pitch in.
The company is in talks with Canada Lands Company CLC Ltd. to purchase eight hectares for a stadium that could play host to football games, concerts and other public events.
The proposal is on the agenda for the Oct. 30 regional council meeting.
