Also some people don't go to games because then don't like Ivro Wyne, whether its the seating itself or the location in the middle of a neighbourhood.

Just a few thougts
It definitely needs to be 30,000 seats, no smaller. Most teams see a bump in attendance with a new facility. Ivor Wynne is so old that it's not a stretch to imagine a rather permanent bump in attendance. There are always some fickle people who won't show up unless you pamper them.

Hopefully the Bills will move to Los Angeles, and the Tiger-Cats will get an additional bounce.
