Either way very impressive.

I doubt that there is much more they can do at this point to increase capacity, but it does beg a question for future years. A shorter, temporary stand along the west edge of the pitch would make sense. Sure, it would block the Officers' Club, but give each of those people a seat IN the temporary stand as part of their ticket. The view from the Officers' Club is crap anyway - the distance, the TV platforms, etc. They can get their fancy stuff before and after the match, and at half.
I wonder if Spruce Meadows has considered doing something with that void between the Officers' Club building and the pitch. The equestrian events would likely still need that area though.
Until we're averaging closer to capacity for the regular season, there isn't much to worry about. But until then, I am looking forward to basking in an absolutely packed stadium on Saturday. It is going to be electric.
