Although it does seem unfortunate that we didn't get an ultra-modern stadium like in the examples above, I am somewhat (still coming to accept it) satisfied in the "open" design that is shown. In my opinion, it is a true reflection of what IWS always has been - and still might help retain that "feel", including the character of the neighbourhood, when you experience a football game.

I was a big supporter of the WH proposal, but now I am content with the "compromise" solution that sees the tradition continue in this neighbourhood. This stadium, and the team within it, are what have given this neighbourhood its identity (and pride).

My biggest worry, because you can't tell from the renderings, is whether the stands will be constructed of concrete or steel (like BMO field). Even though we are steeltown, a steel stadium will only come off as a cheap solution..........

never let a rule stand in the way of a better idea...
