I would dearly hope that Calgary has a new stadium in place by 2026.

We are talking about an event 9 years away, a lot can happen in the mean time. No need to spin my response into another new stadium debate. Upgrades to Macmahon would be fine in comparison to what I have seen in person for comparable events like the WC and Olympic finals. Sure it won't be the new Wembley, but it's a valid pick with plenty of time to prepare.
Did you have to pull out "world class" again? Real Madrid does not play here, they only require something that is adaquate in terms of the rules and the requirements at the time.
