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.

Agree with your point, but both BC Place and Commonwealth are newer then McMahon, and have had many more millions spent on them since they opened than the U of C/Stamps have spent on McMahon.
