After the mayhem that occurred there during the Heritage Classic, I hope something will be done in the near future (e.g. new washrooms, expand the concourse)

I doubt it. It would require provincial funding and that just isn't going to happen until the economy improves and the province is no longer in the red.
Look around the league for comparable situations. Winterpeg is getting a new stadium but it has been plagued with mismanagement and spending overruns. So much so the provincial gov had to step in.
Ivor Wynn is being refurbished and the Riders may get a new stadium with no federal funding (only prov and local) but that is doubtful.
And compared to Ivor Wynn and Taylor Field, McMahon is a state of the art facility.
This is all my opinion of course.
