Commonwealth is amazing. It's truly a beautiful building and could quite easily be brought up to today's standards. It's actually equally if not more sound in terms of technology than IGF in almost all aspects. New bigger scoreboard and sound system (like mentioned above) plus Full LED rings, WIFI capabilities. The 2010 addition brought things like clubs ect. It may not be as refined and sleek as the new ones but if I had to pick THF,TD or commonwealth ill go with The big green older guy every time. I went to an eskimos game a month ago with 33,000 people and had a blast.

Everyone is biased towards their own. You have a love on for Edmonton and all things associated with it. Good on you. Watching football in a half full stadium doesn't cut it for me. I'll take 95% full in Regina or Hamilton any day. Full stadiums just have a vibe with them.
