[QUOTE="LittleGuy, post: 662030, member: 44360"] Heard from other people who've been there who've said the same thing, also not very wide concourses and aisles mean the stadium isn't as massive as the capacity of nearly 110,000 would suggest. Beaver Stadium looks to be a MUCH larger physical structure. Canada's biggest is Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton, and it's a fairly medicore stadium, bland and simple. Looks pretty crappy even when the Eskimos draw a decent crowd of about 35-40,000 in a 60,000 seat stadium. Tests used to be played there from time to time when it was grass and it looked awful, 15,000(that number is debated to this day in Canadian circles) showed for a Maori game and it looked deserted even though elsewhere it would have been a really good Canadian crowd for Rugby.
