I believe behind the scenes space (such as locker rooms) would be created under the stands and the tunnel would service that. Here is an article detailing some of the proposed changes. It also mentions possible IT upgrades and loge seating. https://urbanaffairs.ca/loonies-and-...-commonwealth/

In addition, here is an article on the Edmonton mayor advocating for fair treatment compared to Calgary. https://edmonton.ctvnews.ca/sohi-wan...rena-1.6371354
