I think the Sierra phase 1 layout below with 16,000 between the goal-lines would work for the CFL (although 20,000 between the goal-lines would be better). The illustrated grandstand with 24 lower rows and 24 upper rows would be good on both sides between the goal-lines. A great start would be the 10,000 seat grandstand plus a 5,000 seat lower tier on the other side, which could have an upper tier added at some future date. Then corner seats could be added to get it up to 30,000 seats (if ever required). Such corner seats have a decent view of the field (better than endzone seats). Endzone seats could get it to 40,000 plus for special occasions. In my opinion, that would be a real multi-purpose stadium with good options for expansion.
PS: Still no real news - is there another public consultation planned?
