A engineer and architect and construction company owner that I know believe it can be a much as 100 percent but more likely around 50 to 75 % especially when a larger company like PCL are involved because they build it and suppy the material. I agree with Fenwick that you can build a much bigger stadium similar to Moncton`s smaller concrete built side that has permanent washrooms and concession stands and press boxes but make to 3 times bigger on both sides of the field with open endzones which I personally prefer. I sat on that side last time at the CFL game and I`m on the 30 yard line, first row this time. That section is smaller but it`s pretty nice and well built and the seats are great, apparently my construction company friend in Moncton told me it was built my a Quebec company which I believe I gave to Fenwick. I believe Fenwick could design a perfect CFL 25,000 plus permanent seat stadium for around 75 million or slightly less with all the amenities and built solidly and hopefully with open endzones which I don`t believe he is against which will allow the stadium to host a Grey Cup.

Thanks for the information. I can't really design a stadium though (I wish I could). I just do fairly basic conceptual 3D drawings to illustrate my thoughts (mainly because I can't draw by freehand). But when it comes to actually specifying column and beam dimensions, and working out the forces then it is something that I am not qualified to do. Luckily there are many people in the Maritimes who can.
