Just made another with it transparent, you can see there is plenty of space for the rodeo field/Chuckwagon starts. I think they should do a feasibility study, I like it.

I have been rambling to anyone that will listen to me (there aren't many) for several years now that the Stampede Grandstand would be a ####ing awesome place to watch a football game. You could make that one of the most unique venues in North American sports. Outside of the chucks, do they even run horses there? Has that not all moved to Century Downs?
I bet you could turn the Grandstand into a really cool football environment for much less than the cost of standing up a new $250 million structure.
They probably asked the Stampede Board what they'd want, hypothetically, over lunch one day, saw the number and went 'uh uh'.
