The commissioner of the Canadian Football League is in Calgary on Friday, ready to make a major announcement at McMahon Stadium.

Randy Ambrosie, along with Robert Hayes, President and CEO of the Calgary Sports and Entertainment Corporation, Jay McNeil, President of the Calgary Stampeders, Mayor Jyoti Gondek and Alberta Tourism and Sport Minister Joseph Schow , will all participate in the event.

There are no details on what might be announced, but Ambrosie has previously expressed concern about the aging stadium.

In 2017, he called the building “terrible” and pledged to work with the CSEC and other representatives to help fans with a “state-of-the-art place to come and watch world-class football.”

Ambrosie also remembers his setup after playing in the CFL, first with the Stampeders, then with the Toronto Argonauts and then-named Edmonton Eskimos.

“I happen to like (McMahon Stadium) because I can go there and walk to the locker I was sitting in for the 1993 Gray Cup,” he told CTV News at the time.

“I have good memories but I don’t think that’s a reason to keep the stadium.”

The stadium, which is owned by the University of Calgary and operated by the McMahon Stadium Society, was built in 1960 for $1.05 million.

It has been expanded and renovated several times over the years and currently has a capacity of 35,400 people.

It is named for Frank and George McMahon, who contributed $300,000 to its construction.

It opened on August 15, 1960 to host a game between the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the Calgary Stampeders. The Stampeders lost the game 38-23.

The press conference begins at 9 a.m. MT.
