Not that my preference matters much, but I'd like to see an outdoor stadium built instead of piggybacking on the fieldhouse project... the fieldhouse concepts we've seen so far make it seem like a big drab warehouse... like a big Fargodome or a mini Alamodome. Neither is really all that appealing except for the coldest November games. Leave the fieldhouse for track and field and get an appropriate venue for football.
Also, FWIW I'd probably put McMahon at the second-worst position on the list of CFL stadiums. Montreal is worse but it has that Wrigley/Fenway thing going on where it is just so old that its flaws are overlooked. BMO is a little awkward for football but I don't see how it wouldn't place ahead of McMahon... it has the full range of modern stadium stuff. That said, I don't think McMahon is so bad that it's a reason not to go to games.

Hopefully the fieldhouse ends up more alike a small Forsyth Barr Stadium
