The only steats that may be compromised is for baseball but we are really only looking at smaller crowds anyway. Soccer, football, and hockey all use the same essential seating patterns.

A CFL field is 150 yards by 65 yards, or 87,750 square feet.
An NHL rink is 200 feet long by 85 feet wide, or 17,000 square feet.
The fact that a CFL field is 5 times bigger than an NHL rink (not including the much larger sidelines) is why people have an issue with your idea.
