The south stand does appear to be permanent. Planting grass in the north end zone (which would mean moving north stands back permanently) would allow for grass on the entire playing surface of both sports. It seems unlikely that a full 20-yard end zone can be accomplished in the current building config, but I can live with 17-yard end zones, especially if it's real grass at both ends. CFL history is full of fields that didn't have standardized end zones. At one point 25 yards was the standard, and we survived going to 20. And we have survived with angled-off corners in Molson and at one time in Commonwealth (and the original Empire, I assume). Three yards shorter does not in any truly significant way change the game IMO.
