I think it would help in regards to selling more corporate suites and bring curious and casual fans in the building and if the product was good possibly roping in some younger fans but no it wouldn't be a cure all for the organization. Ideally a retractable roof stadium would be perfect for Calgary's climate as if they could close the roof they would get better attendance in the fall and sell out playoff games. Never going to happen but I feel that's probably best case scenario for long term viability in this city and climate as evening games in the fall are cold in Calgary relative to the other cities in the CFL.
