The horseshoe configuration is optimal for the CFL. The reality is that the THF style old school two grandstand configuration is probably the best in terms of reflecting where fans want to sit, but having two open ends is atmosphere deadening to some degree so you need to provide at least some endzone seating. Permanent seats in one endzone accomplishes that while leaving room for temporary seating at the other end.
Only NMS comes close to that ideal but in my opinion they would have been better off moving the upper tier endzone seats to the sidelines instead. IGF has the ideal sized endzone seating area but the problem is that there's two of them instead of just one.
