The new Rider stadium looks great but why did they ...

[IC Khari]

... not wrap it around to complete the toilet bowl?

That opening at the other end is going to cause some weird wind issues will it not?

Seems a lot more open than IGF, at least by the pics. Not sure that's a good thing on the prairies ...

The stadium looks real good. It's location sucks as its within the puke pail of a city. Sorry a vomit vessel. A stinky sewer. Middle of nowhere. But maybe it's not the city. Maybe it's the people. You know, the locals that were born as a lanced boil from their mothers behind cause her lady part was too busy.

I was negative about the Riders new stadium. I'm surprised none of them have showed up here yet with venom in their typing fingers LOL ...

It's to let the odour out...

[iso_55]

I don't know why there's a gap in the end zone where there are seats? But I don't get the open end zone either.

[Atomic]

Where's the rest of it?  Stupid design in a city full of stupid people, go figure.

[Bomber_fanaddict]

Or maybe it is suppose to match the gaps in their teeth?

Current Mosaic is more open than that and it really stinks so not sure it'll work

I'd rather have the stadium in Regina than the stadium in Hamilton.

When you have 35,000 cousins drinking beer you need a lot of ventilation.  

is that canvas on top.?

That fence they show on one picture sure is not going to help the sight line.

Kinda like the choice between lying in dog crap or lying in cat pee ...

Nah, the Riders stadium is head & shoulders better than Hamilton or Ottawa. I'm going to give credit where credit is due. I hate the Riders & their fans but not their stadium. It'll be as nice or nicer than ours. Certainly with one end zone open the seats in the grandstands go up much higher than our stadium.

Just be glad you're not a Stamps fan with the reality that the new stadium the Flames want to build is a hybrid fieldhouse/stadium that few here seem to like with about as much wow factor as an old picket fence & the alternative Plan B to a new football stadium are the Flames calling for just "some renovations" to the decrepid nearly 60 year old McMahon Stadium. Once the old Mosaic Stadium is closed & the new one opened it'll be the worst CFL stadium in Canada.

Ottawa has a nice stadium, and great environment in the area before the game. Really enjoyed the game I went to there. Haven't bothered looking much at what the riders are doing so won't compare, but I liked the stadium in Ottawa.

The stadium in Ottawa isn't very big at 24,000. It has a nice new grandstand but the same old one reno'd on the other side because there is a hockey  arena underneath it of all things where the 67's play so they couldn't tear it down. Hamilton's is just a bare bones nothing fancy stadium that also seats 24,000. Hopefully someday both stadiums will be expanded.

Someone managed to hack on their computer systems to find out the reason for that design. This is what he found.

So....not only did they design it to look like a toilet...they designed it to look like a gas station toilet. Classy.

It's true. Toilet marketers now name their toilets. Would you believe American Standard has a toilet they named "Champion Max"? Honest. It offers superior flushing performance, moving 70% more mass.

We bought one of these water efficient toilets & it's terrible. Constantly plugs up & there's not enough water when flushed to get rid of all the fecal matter in one flush. So you  have to flush 2 or 3 times. How is that conserving water?

[IC Khari]

This thread went into the toilet quickly ...

[Mr Dee]

Your toilet, and your "volume", is not open for discussion. Please.

Besides, I don't think that's the same thing. Moving 70% more mass seems like it was made specifically for Saskatchewan - to match the need, you might say.

Aw dude, you got to it before me.  I was totally thinking about this after IC's first post.  Bravo!

There is absolutely no truth to the notion that each year, high school graduates (both of them) have their graduation photos encased in frames like the one above.
