Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the total surface area of Confederation Park... well... freaking huuuuuge?

I mean, does anybody know what the actual proposal was for the confed park location? Couldn't the stadium coexist with WWW and the other amenities?

Either way, the location has terrible transit problems, so I'm not really pleased with it for that reason. But if it came down to, say, MIP or Confed., wouldn't it be better to build on the park rather than lose important employment lands? It's not like there still won't be room for playgrounds and fields there.

Realistically, they're not going to lay new tracks, and all the rail lines running through the north end or at the Aberdeen rail yard are constantly clogged with freight.

Imho, the only possible location for a new Go station would be at the below-grade region running alongside dundurn - you could build on top of the the cricket-field/overflow tank at Dundurn and Main. That would work well for MIP (stadium or no), but it is kind of redundant with Hunter Street terminal since it is very close, compared to other Go stations. But mac students and people in the west end would be ecstatic to have a train station right there.

Either way, I doubt it's going to happen.
