Why do the Stampeders need to stay viable with the rest of the CFL? Are Stamps fans going to go to games in Hamilton instead? Are they going to see games in a new stadium in Winnipeg and decide they don't want to go to Mcmahon because it's not as nice?
People severely overestimate what amenities the typical football stadium offers. This is not the NFL, and NFL like additions simply aren't realistic. McMahon needs work, but it's certainly nowhere near the point of needing total replacement.
