[esquire]

^ The old guard of CFL stadiums that are up for replacement or were recently demolished (original Mosaic, CanadInns, Ivor Wynne) are/were highly outdated and very deficient structures. Anyone who hasn't set foot in one of them would have a hard time grasping how primitive they are/were in nearly every respect.

They are a completely different situation from the more common scenario of 1970s and 80s arenas/stadiums being demolished simply because they don't generate enough revenue, even though they are 100% serviceable and functional.

McMahon struck me as being above the three stadiums that I've named. It was a bit more like Ottawa's... old, but not really the kind of badly outdated and neglected dump as the others.
