Good points, I underestimated avg Stamps attendance. 28,000 seats was the study for the stadium size that they did with CEI (which is about their league average attendance). So 28000 seats for reg season expandable to 40,000 for the grey cup, which also includes the possibility of having a location for future MLS of course would be part of the complex.
That being said.
I would be very surprised if the Fieldhouse wasn't bundled into one with the stadium complex as an all in one. It makes sense for the Flames Limited Partnership as they barely use McMahon as it is. Having a complex that's used everyday of the week for something makes more economical sense. With an Arena it's a little different as there can be 3 games in a week if you include in to that NLL and Hitmen and concerts the building is potentially being used all the time.
And who says multi use facilities are phasing out? Colleges/Universities across the states even PRO teams in basketball are useing fieldhouse designs as their homes. Multiuse is the key word here.
No one wants an empty building.
