Fenwick16 I know this is not a CFL size field, but could you try this design on some of the sites that have been suggested, or this too much like McMahon stadium to make a difference?

Construction cost to build the original design was $13.5 million in 1983. Renovation was done in 2003-2005.
Here is a comparison of Yager Stadium, the cropped version of McMahon that I have been using on Halifax sites, and the full version of McMahon (not cropped) all on the same image. You can see the difference in field size. However, Yager stadium doesn't look very compact for a 30,000 seat US stadium. It looks to be very similar in overall size to McMahon Stadium.

You can tell that I have too much free time.
