At the least it shows how much can be done for a given amount of money.

Perhaps I don't know enough about what the different components in a stadium cost, but it's safe to say that the CFL has also done their homework, know what amenities they want in a CFL stadium, and know roughly how much they cost to build.
I like Infocision stadium, but does it meet all those check marks the CFL deems necessary? It likely goes far beyond simply building a stadium with a large enough capacity.
When I saw the 14,000 seat proposal from Halifax a few months ago, I was honestly flabbergasted. Halifax isn't even on the same page. There's not a snow ball's chance in hell that a city will get a CFL team with a stadium that looks like that. Same goes for Moncton's stadium. Do you want a facility that Maritimers can be proud of or one that will get ridiculed nationally?
