For the last week here at the Community Blog we have been asking readers to vote on their choice for a stadium location. If they had a choice. Well the results are in!!
With 44 votes cast we got a wide range of opinion in the city and the results are a bit surprising.
Coming in 1st was Confederation Park with 23 votes (52%) which is a tad surprising because this option was taken off the table before any research was done on it and was not available for voting at the Council meetings.
The two sites that divided the city were the West Harbour and East Mountain locations. It seemed that these two locations were the prime two picks. Coming in 2nd with 8 votes (18%) of the vote was East Mountian, followed by a very close 7 votes (15%) for the West Harbour that put it in 3rd place.
Currently the City is in the process of coming to terms on a CP-Rails-Aberdeen site for the location. This is the current choice for the stadium which surprisingly got only 4 votes (9%).
It is kind of strange that the current location seems to be the least favorite of the ones offered. There were also 2 votes (4%) for NONE of the locations mentioned.
As of now Council has until February 1st, 2011 to come to a decision and the necessary things like funding and location to make the Pan-Am Games happen.
What do you all think of the current poll? Discuss
