I think this is the way it is going. They don't need it to be bigger than McMahon, just better. I think they'll go partially covered ~35K seats so that the fans are at least sheltered from the elements somewhat but it allows the expansion capacity for the Grey Cup and maybe that dream of the World Cup.
