I didn’t know they were building a round corner with the stone facade. Totally cool

I know. It’s absolutely impressive. This might be the first curved stone surface in history.

Thanks BG. I don't always get each and every detail correct, but the fact there has not even been a single sold out game at McMahon in the last four years begs the question why we need anything to replace it, particularly anything bigger. The other responses to my posts on this were less than helpful. Perhaps some of the folks are too busy masturbating on the vision of Ford being in town.

Are you talking about the new mansion taking up the two lots?

I don't know if you are being funny guy. In Europe, thousands of stone buildings with curved wall exist. Even in Canada.

Curved wall or straight, this looks fantastic. If the new mansion down the street is anything like this but on a bigger scale we are in for a real treat.

I forgot to say thanks for all your updates Daemon. Much appreciated, and I hope we get more of the same with the new mansion going up down the road.

A new stadium would be nice not just for the Stampeders, but for other events. Other events we don't have because the stadium is crap.

Who said it was going to be bigger? It's planned to be around the same size which is fine.

Insight of the day: It's not my fault you have difficulty following along.

Track and field events, rugby, mls soccer team someday. Bigger concerts like Paul McCartney.
