Heck, you could tear down the east seats of McMahon and build this. Attach a parkade to the other side of the concourse, then attach student housing units and a hotel to the parkade. You've got a highly integrated multi-use structure with pretty much year-round revenue.
They did something like that in Portland to expand the capacity of their soccer stadium.



This cost $80 million, which also included upgrades to the scoreboard and stadium lighting.
