There are plans for major renovations to McMahon -- in fact, they've already done some of them, with the new Stamps admin office and the renovations to the Stamps dressing room -- but the problem is that the University owns the stadium, so, they need to find ways to finance the improvements.
This spring, they asked for ideas about potentially developing the land around McMahon for other commercial uses, to generate the revenue needed:

I haven't heard anything since about any of the proposals that were received or how they're progressing.
Also, where do things stand with the new stadium in Regina? I thought it had slowed down when the federal government declared there would no federal funding for the construction of sports facilities.
