Yes, that's why I mentioned curtaining off the upper bowl - so you're left with a lower bowl that's more intimate. Either way, it would need to have some sort of adaptability for it. Stadiums are expensive - have to maximize the value of it.
The problem with BMO field it'll have the same problem with weather that Exhibition stadium had. A new stadium would more than likely be domed (retractable?), so that'll be a major bonus.
