Here's what's so frustrating about this project. You have ken King coming out and making a comment that sounds like the Stamps aspect is throwaway "Oh yeah, CFL attendance is trending downwards so that's why 25k seats is okay", then they show a rendering that makes the stadium look like a second rate gym type thing with some seats jammed in on once side.
Lots of the negative reaction is attributed to these exact factors of the presentation. Then this gets added to their page and all of a sudden the whole project looks more professional and better suited to what the franchises require.
I mean you've got a nice two tiered football stadium with seats on the ends for 30,500 seats (right in the wheelhouse of what many said would be acceptable capacity) AND another configuration actually seats over 40k?
Like c'mon, how was this not part of the initial release, how do you get the capacity completely wrong in your presentation, COMPLETE with an explanation as to why it's lower?

And these plans just surfaced on the About page. These are new hadn't seen these before but answers a lot of questions about the configurations..
Doesn't this look like there's a practice rink build into this thing too?
