There were 11,000 for the exibition game between the Ticats & the Argos so there are 9,000 seats to go. The stadium has to be rebuilt anyway so why not add some seats? Once the CFL is established then a more permanent site 30,000 seats expandable to 50,000 could be sought. Willow park area?
Perhaps big concerts would still be held at the commons and Huskies Stadium would be used for CFL, university football, high school football, local soccer and why not a national soccer team?

Absolutely! I agree whole-heartedly and said this a few pages ago. It could work much the same way Molson Stadium does, where the Allouettes and the McGill Redmen play. Sure it may be a small CFL venue, but it is a reasonable start, and fulfills (I think everyone here) our desire to have a unique and central location.
