This is it for me. Considering the limitations of the CFL and our weather, McMahon serves its purpose just fine. it obviously doesn't compare to the newer stadiums, but that's like comparing a 1998 Toyota Corolla to a 2018 Audi. They're not the same but nobody is suggesting they are (or should be).

I've been to a handful of stadiums in recent years and all were older:

Commonwealth
BC Place
LA Coliseum
Rose Bowl

While McMahon sits last on that list (no central jumbotron, lack of bathrooms, etc), they all had their pros and cons, and all served their purpose IMO.
