The Temporary stands that they used at the Grey Cup, the ones that wobble in the slightest wind. The concourse is crap, its unheated they don't have room for food selection, there's a shortage of VIP facilities at McMahon. In terms of wired for modern broadcast, its one thing for a CFL game, the Olympics is a whole other thing.

I doubt they could pull off the type of opening ceremonies that the Olympics has today.

I mean 88 was cool and all, but the 88 opening ceremonies was the true definition of budget and cheesy

These aren't the same type of Winter Olympics as they were in 1988 where the Winter Olympics were truly the small Olympics and the summer olympics were a behemoth of spending.
