    They probably don't want to have to cover the track. Since there is no horse racing there anymore, what do they do with the track outside of Stampede? They have done the winter rallycross thing there in the winter to some success, that still works on dirt.

    If they tear McMahon down to the bones and do a full renovation, it could still function just fine. The Chuckwagons likely do need to go, but they are one of the most popular events at the Stampede and are even televised. Zero chance they let that one go.

    Definitely looks better with the "mesh" Probably looks cool with the snow sitting on it this morning.

    The diagonal one is probably best, take advantage of the pathways people will take.

    Common areas and amenities seem great for marketing, but nobody ever uses them. Kinda like balconies, everyone wants one but people rarely ever go out on them.

    Bus Barn is too close to residential, wherever the new stadium goes, it needs to be able to handle very big concerts (thinking the 2 Metallica shows Commonwealth just, hosted in August). To be honest, the current location may be best, if McMahon had stands on the ends, it would cut noise by half...

    I imagine the UofC would still use the stadium as a tenant.

    You would have to add proper stands where the infield stands are. Google tells me the grandstand is 17000 seats, you will need at least double that for a football stadium. That would chew up about 1/3 of the infield by my guess. I like the firepark idea, traffic there would be brutal after a...

    One problem with the grandstand idea is it would eliminate most of the infield, that is useful space during Stampede.

    I've watched the games in 4K, definitely much better quality than the HD channels. Even on my cheap Chinese 4K TV.

    Are there specific places they want these resorts? Seems like maybe the Province should help fund the resurgence of Fortress and maybe adding a MTB park at Castle.

    We have usually had a major snowfall or 3 by now, this is quite nice for November. The last year I remember like this had to be 2016, was mountain biking in Exshaw in shorts and a tshirt on Remembrance Day.
