I bet that if the stadium is covered, even more people would go. I bet you could put 40,000 butts in the seats for each Stamps game. The ones that wouldn't go because of the slightest negative aspect of the weather... now would go.

It doesn't have to 30k only, but anyone thinking the CFL requires anything more than 40k at the best of times is seriously misled about the draw of that league. Even if its in doors (which it could be and not have to be that huge) you aren't going to draw that many more fans each week. Plus, new facility probably means higher prices which will take some fans away, the CFL is already a low cost entertainment option.
While I would love a giant stadium in this town it would be the biggest waste of money ever. It would be lucky if it hosted an event a year, and it would be at 50% capacity 9 times a year for its only permanent tenant. It would be ridiculous.
