So it looks like it's in the plans to do a bit of upgrades to McMahon Stadium in the future.

Frankly, I think they either need to tear the whole thing down and do it over again, or pick a new spot for a new stadium. If they're just gonna do a few tweaks here and there, it'll be wasted money since it wouldn't enhance the stadium much.

McMahon is seriously outdated and subpar for a city like Calgary. And with Ottawa, Winnipeg, and Regina look a new venues, while Vancouver puts finishing touches on making there's pretty sweet, Calgary is left with something less than stellar. Calgary doesn't even get a shot to host the Women's World Cup in 2015.
