Ideally they should have replaced it 15 years ago, and razed it to the ground long ago, like they did with some of the seedy hotels in Motel Village across the Crowchild.

My posting history is honest, I try to look at the good and the bad. I agree it should have been replaced long ago and I favour building anew over renovation.
But your statement about no renovations wasn't true and you have provided no proof why it is by far the worst with just a blanket statement. Aside from the view, Molson is no Mosaic.
My fear is threefold: Our country has seemingly stagnated so far that we lack the will to do anything like a new stadium. I say that with full knowledge of what is happening in Montreal and Ottawa. Also it has almost become too costly to justify and three, the profile of the big events that we could realistically bid on have seemingly fallen so far that there may be no interest. Perhaps, McMahon will just have to crumble before anything is done
Even though I don't like it, a renovation may be the best that is possible, hence my posting that way a few times.
And this just came into my head, the university alumni? in Calgary is looking at
building a new stadium that will cost 45 million. To me, like the situation in Halifax, it takes away dollars from a big stadium project. Perhaps some of that 45 million might have went toward McMahon
