I’ve been to a few games at new mosaic and I swear to god, prices at McMahon are about the same despite being about 1/10th as nice a stadium. It’s really too bad.

Agreed with the bolded part, it's the best. Which is why it's so frustrating they only have 2 home games all summer! I'm still not over that (PS Riders aren't here until almost Halloween, another WTF).
Yeah it's a shame that arguably the best team over the past decade plays in the worst stadium in the league, it really shouldn't be the case. I've never seen a football game at new Mosaic, but I saw the Flames vs Jets Heritage Classic there and LOVED it. That's exactly what I want the new McMahon to look like (minus all the green), it was perfect, including the size. I'm so worried they'll try to stick a non-retractable dome on it, please no.
Agreed the prices are ridiculous. They do need to make it attractive for a family outing at better price, I want to see big crowds there like when I was growing up. Despite the old barn, I still have a good time there. I love sitting higher up facing the west side, having a cold one while getting that nice evening sun, simultaneously watching the Stamps do their thing while watching the Calgary skyline, and the sun setting behind the Rockies. It's the best. Really gonna have to make the most of these 2 games, hopefully the weather cooperates at least.
