It's safe to say the new arena would be in the seating range of 18-20 thousand but I'm more interested in how large the football stadium will be. There seems to be a trend in the league for smaller stadiums but you would think the new stadium would seat close to McMahon at the very least. As long as it one-ups the Regina stadium so we don't have to hear Riders fans continually pat themselves on the back about being the best fans and having the best stadium.
