McMahon Stadium - Renovations

Renovations

In 2010, the Stamps completed a one year renovation to its player locker rooms and coaches offices at McMahon Stadium that is unofficially estimated to have cost over one million dollars. The 2010 renovations include but are not limited to the following:

  • Brand new office building for football operations and office personnel.
  • A players lounge with a HDTV monitor that provides practice times and coaches meeting updates, and HDTV monitors for video games (XBOX 360 and PS3).
  • A brand new weight room which replaces the portable trailer the players used to have to pump iron in.
  • A huge, new locker room area, about three times bigger than the old one, that houses up to 75 players and their gear with room to spare. The state of the art locker room also has an HDTV monitor that provides practice times and coaches meeting updates.
  • An upgraded equipment room. The state of the art equipment room, has a number of sliding shelves operated by a simple push of a button reveal rows of neatly stacked helmets, shoes, shoulder pads and other gear and supplies. The Stamps staff can now, at the press of a button, access the equipment required by the players. The shelves condense beside one another, keeping everything tucked away from view until needed.
  • Two new therapy tubs including one with an underwater treadmill that's set up with a video camera to help track the athletes progress as they train back into playing shape after suffering an injury.
  • A brand new state of the art training room where the team physical therapist and other team doctors can take care players.
  • Each chair in the medical room has extra-long leg room and high-tech monitors beside them.
  • Three private rooms, and a procedure room, where players can visit team doctors for stitches and whatever is needed.

The Stamps training facility and office areas at McMahon stadium are patterned after the Green Bay Packers, Denver Broncos and the Indianapolis Colts of the NFL, and are on par with any facility in the NFL, and it is better than most in the CFL.
