-McMahon was built in 1960 and had somewhere around 23,000 seats back then, population was around 260,000 but the stadium was sold out for many events other than Stamps games.
-Calgary now has 1.2 million people, to go backwards would be crazy, stupid Canadian football aside build a big ass stadium to attract big ass acts and show the country we are a big ass city.
-I will never support a stadium smaller than McMahon...ever!

46,000 is it's expandable capacity for special events like the Grey Cup or Heritage Classic. It's permanent capacity is 35,650.
I think with the amount of empty seats in the top corners during the summer, a more reasonable capacity would be 30-33K, with more luxury suites.
