The noise section of the Community Standards Bylaw excludes the Stampede grounds during the 10 day event. I imagine the equalizing factor is that no major late night events could occur outside the 10 day event without causing a lot of issues.
The stated capacity of the grandstand is 17,000 seated and an additional 8,000 standing. However I'm pretty sure the seated portion also includes the infield area. Drop 3-4,000 seats if this is true.
Overall the Grandstand is too small a stadium to be viable for a major outdoor event.
