I posted a similar ill worded poll at the Halifax Stadium thread. It skews the poll by posting the questions as being for or against either a "CFL" or "football" stadium.
The word has not been successfully transmitted about the other stakeholders, like minor rugby, football and soccer, concert and trade show events.

Like it or not, however, it is going to be.
The Stamps will be the dominant users of the stadium, and all the upgrades that go into it will be done to better service their fans. McMahon is a perfectly functional stadium for the UCalgary teams that attract 2K or less per game; it is only when it gets crowded that its issues become noticeable.
Furthermore, the stadium in its present form exists solely because of the Stamps. I'm sure UCalgary would be absolutely fine to tear it down and build a 5K stadium with bleachers, outhouses, and a shipping container converted into a concession because that would serve its purposes just fine. The fact that the stadium is used for other sports doesn't paint over the recognition that any and all upgrades are primarily to serve the Stampeders and their fans.
