Here's a post I made last summer, where I superimposed the footprints of a couple of buildings (the Jobing.com Arena in Glendale and the UConn Football stadium in Hartford) over a few different locations to see how well they could accommodate an arena and stadium.

I won't quote the whole thing (you can read it if you want), but here are the images:

1. East Victoria Park

2. Fire Park

3. West Village -- Greyhound Depot and GSL Chev-City

3. West Village -- Greyhound, GSL, Renfrew Chrysler

These are really the only locations that would be large enough; are potentially available for (re)development; and meet the "downtown" criteria. Firepark is not directly downtown, but its proximity to Deerfoot, Memorial, and the CTrain make it still easily accessible from downtown.
