The BC Lions are profitable at 20 000 seats. Maybe McMahon should be demolished and a smaller stadium built for a team that has seen declining attendance numbers for several years in a league that has seen huge attendance decline in the same time-frame.

CalgaryNEXT has already proposed a lower capacity stadium.
