hopefully something that also involves that giant parking lot to the north!

That giant parking lot to the north will eventually be Dinosaur Stadium!

Looking at those latest pics on the last page, I know it's Cargary but it would have been nice if they pedestrianized University Avenue from McLaurin Street to Collegiate Road. Easy enough for traffic to route south via Perraton Avenue.

This will be great! Hopefully it turns out something like Starlight Stadium in Langford, which is pretty well integrated into the neighborhood:

Is this some far off plan the university has or something? I can't find anything about it outside of the website you shared

Lot 10 on the north 2/3rds by the looks of the site plan

All this stadium seems to be is a dream of Dino Football alumni. Maybe it is more but I don't think so.

If it were, hypothetically, ever built, could Cavalry FC play out of there?

I was wondering the same thing. It's abut the same size, but much better location.

Seems like it. But the University seems to be reserving the space for that in the future. Does the University even want to own McMahon? A more comprehensive plan with the Fieldhouse and McMahon would be possible if the city owned the whole thing.

Not a chance under the Cavalry's current ownership. The Wild FC is more likely.

And for some added context, the Southern family own both the Cavalry and Spruce Meadows. They got their money by being founders of ATCO.

UCPG deserves some applause for the way this has turned out. Well done.
