John Haverstock would agree.
Most modern CFL stadiums with renos (Regina, Winnipeg, Toronto) are hovering around $200 million. Tim Hortons field was around $145 million (and that includes having it a multi-purpose stadium).
$80 million was earmarked for McMahon Stadium upgrades just for improvements for the Olympics. The proverbial "lipstick on a pig" if you will.
I would rather we wait for another $80 million in some sort of funding to at least get a Tim Hortons field (even designed with the same sight lines as McMahon to retain the viewing experience), although I don't think a deal with CSEC or any money is coming any time soon.
