Every time I leave ATCO Field, walking back on the west side, I turn and admire at how gorgeous our home grounds are (and make sure to mention this to my guests or friends too). Our grass is pristine, and our stadium legit looks like a historic, intimate, European pitch. As a footy fan, it makes you WANT to be there. McMahon Stadium would have the complete opposite effect IMO.
The only CFL stadiums that work for professional soccer are BMO Field, and BC Place - and both have supporters sections directly behind the nets, which is a huge part of the gameday experience for the impacts of supporters groups.
