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McMahon is seriously outdated and subpar for a city like Calgary.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.
I think they can fix it, but it will be more than a couple more concessions and a new can.

They need to build structures to the end of the endzones. expand the R&W to the back line and same with the clubhouse.

It's about the right size on the sides so no expansion needed there. They do need to expand the overall concession area and probably create some kind of Club seating (maybe above the R&W)
