Home > Atlantic Schooners


The Atlantic Schooners was a conditional CFL expansion team in the early 1980s, to play out of Halifax, Nova Scotia. The Schooners folded before they played a single game because the owners of the team (lead by J.I. Albrecht ) couldn't secure the financing for a new stadium for the team. Since there was (and still is) no CFL calibre stadium in Halifax the team had no choice but to fold. Since then there have been endless rumours of a stadium being built in the area and with it, a CFL team.

One urban legend around the Halifax area is that the old scoreboard from the New England Patriots stadium is in a warehouse in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, left there awaiting the proposed stadium.
