If 28K is the average Stamps game attendance currently, wouldn't making the game day experience exponentially better, as King claims they are doing, mean that a lot more than 2 thousand additional people would show up at football games? Missed opportunity here if the stadium stays at 30K IMO.
The sweet spot for a stadium is to have capacity slightly below demand. 30,000 is ideal for the CFL in this city.
