That makes sense. The two level party deck in the north end looks easy to disassemble. 1. for grey cups and 2. if they ever want to add permanent seats.
The south end at BMO field holds 3000 seats. If they ever do expand I think it would be wise to build one endzone at a time. 3000 seats in the north endzone brings capacity to 27 000. Can even build a patio atop the new endzone seats so the Coors Light patio is still available. Down the road if demand warrants you can fill in the south endzone with a 3000 seat grand stand and add "touchdown suites" to the top of it.
I think for now they should stick to a 24 000 seat capacity for five years and build up demand and ticket scarcity. Then re evaluate if a 3000 seat endzone addition will still allow them to drive up demand through ticket scarcity.
