I disagree. I think Halifax would really embrace a team. Right now they are hanging in limbo with no guarantee they will get a stadium. If they actually get everything in order I think the city will jump on board much like Saskatchewan. Their soccer team draws very well and they are hungry for higher level sports. I think they can consistently draw a healthy 20-25,000 a game. If the team is good I bet they would sell out most games.
