Also the red and white club is rented throughout the year for crazy prices. They will never make it smaller.
New scoreboard, thousands of chairs installed and creating more washrooms would likely cost a lot more than that. I know it doesn't seem like much, but it'll be surprising if/when you find out.

It's a tough decision to put seats in instead of benches, as it would cost millions yet are we at a point where CFL attendance league wide suggests nobody would be sitting up there anyways?

That would be a massive, critical failure for the Stamps to pour money into 10000 seats only to find out that the Stamps won't draw more than 27k a game no matter how nice the seats are, and guess which 10000 seats are still empty?
