The arena itself would be somehow convertible -- that is, it could seat 8,000 or so for OHL hockey, but increase to 12,000 or so, plus floor seating, for concerts and such.This would be my ideal dream option. Convert the aud land completely to a Sports and entertainment district. Move the arena to face Ottawa to give that street some life, Build a 18,000-22,000 person CFL/CPL stadium. and rebuild the ballpark to 2500-3000 all with great amenities and fan experiences. Build a parking garage and sell the rest of the land to a developer for mixed use towers. fit a new twin pad arena somewhere in there. Obviously never going to happen, but would love to see the region have the facilities to host the CFL/ CPL.
