I don't see the big deal. Yeah, the structures may be different between the two sets of grandstands, but so what? In Molson's case, it's a very old stadium, so of course the modern addition makes for a big mismatch. BMO was expanded over time, but the seating is consistent (type, colour) so it doesn't feel like the two sides are that disconnected. Same with THF... I'd have preferred if they at least "roughed in" some club levels on the east grandstand, but the budget just wasn't there, and you'd still have a press box on one side or the other.
Incongruity seems to be fairly common with many of the latest stadium designs in many places. Look at some of the big NFL stadiums of the past 20 years.
