If you read the report to the city from earlier in the year, there really wasn't any opposition from the stakeholders with regards to having a shared-used football stadium/fieldhouse.

I think that no matter what gets done, whether it's CalgaryNext something else, there's a good chance we'll still see the shared-used stadium concept built.

Renovating McMahon to bring it up to today's standards won't be cheap. The price of building one large fieldhouse that can function as Calgary's main stadium will likely not be much more than building the proposed Foothills fieldhouse plus renovating McMahon.
