My guess is the Flames will make one complex for the CFL stadium which will have roughly 20,000 seats for regular season cfl games. Due to the fact however that CFL only runs like 10 regular season games and is once a week for all of 4 months. This stadium would also serve as the public fieldhouse which for the rest of the time would be used as a convertible buildng. Volleyball courts, badminton courts, a super fancy track for track and field and field events. It could be used to host small volleyball/badminton/soccer/fieldhockey championship type games for smaller clubs/events with the seating capacity able to drop down to 10,000. Even thinking of the future PDL team here. However the seating capacity would also be able to expand to 40,000 for the grey cup and or future potential MLS expansion. Stadium would be roofed completely. It also provides as potentially the main venue for all future concerts/or at least as a backup plan for smaller concerts that only want to seat 15000 instead of 20-30 like the arena would.[/QUOTE]

I hope you are wrong because that would be a terrible idea. The stadium and field house need to be separate facilities. Trying to shoehorn both of them into the same building would be brutal and not ideal for either. The days of multi-use facilities are coming to an end. Plus, the Stamps average 28-30 thousand fans. 20000 would be waaaay to small.
