Pipe dreams.

Part of the reason I assume we're heading back to Victoria is that playing in Edmonton would be admitting that they could do it here if they invested more. That said, I don't think playing in Edmonton is a great idea personally. The big cavernous stadiums aren't great at the best of times, and if the weather is particularly cold, that crowd could be really small. This is the issue with McMahon in 2026 when they redo the turf, IMO.
