Wow - this design is tacky.

And more pedways? Fantastic.

But I think many commentators are right - the City is not aiming high enough with this expansion. Nevertheless, the design is pretty uninspiring. As is often the case, our City's contemporary architecture is poorly thought out and poorly designed.

There will not be any expansions to Mile One any time soon - the City subsidizes Mile One upwards of 1 Million per year (it used to be closer to 2-2.5 Million before the ice-caps resurfaced).

And do we really want a bigger stadium that accommodates 'concerts' with twice as many people? The ones that are already there are pretty lousy because the performer is so far away. Bigger doesn't always mean better. Perhaps an outdoor venue could be designed for larger performances...
