When we talk about replacing McMahon we, not unexpectedly, usually discuss possibilities for a new stadium. Last week I saw MLSE’s plans for an expanded BMO Field and it got me pondering what would be in the realm of possibility for a massive refurbishment of McMahon. While I wasn’t overly impressed with the aesthetics of the plan for BMO Field, I was thoroughly impressed with the plans to renovate and expand Stade Vélodrome in Marsielle. Architects love to embrace challenges, could they do something equally impressive with McMahon?
