Like the Flames the Stamps will have by far the worst facilities in the CFL. Unlike the NHL the CFL badly needs to capture younger fans and that's just not happening in an ancient stadium with a concourse that was made to handle 18k not 26-34k. Also there's no box seats which is robbing the team of revenue that other teams have available to them. They are going to have a tough time competing with the rest of the league. The field house is also a facility that will be used by Calgarians 365 days a year. I know hockey fans don't want to hear it but it's a far better deal for Calgarians than the arena.
