Hey if you like freezing in Oct. and Nov., that's your business. But most people don't.
It doesn't have to be a dome, but an "enclosed" stadium that protects fans from the elements and is heated (how about heated seats for games in Oct and Nov?) is the only way to go.
My New Stadium. The black line around the edge is the wall between the fans and field level. The field is in the middle (Tis a poor drawing lol) The black and white colors on the left is:
The black: The thick area of the black is an indoor dressing room. The little strip going back into the stands area is a tunnel from under the stadium seats, to the dressing room. The white strips by the sidelines are outdoor benchs and the white strip on the edge of the black is a dug-out bench under a roof, which has doors connecting it to the dressing room. The otherside is the bombers side. Same principle. Finally the redish brown dots on each end near the endzones. On the SOUTH (Bottom) end zone is cameras and media its stationed higher in the bleacher area. (Notice its behind the wall.) The top end zone has media and cameras at field level. and of course there would be 2 or 3 cameras on those cart things along the sidelines. Tada, new stadium. And yes that was the Coors field. Home of the Colorado Rockies Baseball team. I covered up the diamond with patches of outfield i copied and pasted. This drawing isnt to scale. Its clearly a rough estimate.
Is there any particular reason you chose the last two title holders of the ugliest stadiums in the NFL competition. The only ones missing were the Kingdome in Seattle and St. Louis' new football stadium. Its possible to be covered from the elements but not to look like crap.
Okay this is Winnipeg. We cant build a freakin Superdome. We get 25000 a game not 55 000. Be realistic. This is the CFL we cant emulate state of the art NFL stadiums. So stop posting pictures of massive NFL stadiums you morons.
i was just about to say that. lol thats why mines only a massive basball diamond. Except in mine you could actually cut off like 20 rows all the way around to make it more suitable. You cant in the others, theres skyboxes ect.
heres the actual stadium from satellite. You can just make out the Bomber logos in the endzones.
I find it ironic that Winnipeg is going after a new stadium. In my opinion it would rank 4th when it comes to stadiums around the league. Im not for a minute saying they shouldn't go for a new one, but at least Canad Inns has 2 decks of seating, with actual seats rather than benches, seating around most of the field, fieldturf and even a partial roof. Heck, that puts them miles ahead of some other places
If you want a really effective CFL stadium, keep what you got and attach two massive, exterior polyurethane butt cheeks pointing west towards Edmonton and Saskatchewan.
