The commissioner of the Canadian Football League is in Calgary on Friday, set 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 Minister of Tourism and Sport Joseph Schow, will all be taking part in the event.
There are no details about what could be announced, but Ambrosie has previously expressed concern before over the aging stadium.
In 2017, he called the building "terrible" and pledged to work with CSEC and other representatives to help fans with a "state-of-the-art place to come and watch world-class football."
Ambrosie also has memories of the facility from playing in the CFL, first for the Stampeders, followed by tenures as a member of the Toronto Argonauts and the then-named Edmonton Eskimos.
"I happen to like (McMahon Stadium) because I can go in there and go to the locker I sat in for the '93 Grey Cup," he told CTV News at the time.
"I have fond memories but I don't think that's a reason to keep the stadium."
