Not a lot of options for new tenants. MLS is the only addition I can think of and IMO, Calgary isn't the best at supporting non-NHL/CFL franchises. Unless they move it downtown, concerts are a no-go due to bylaws.
A new football stadium doesn't make sense to me for Calgary. The Stamps just don't draw enough, there isn't the multi-use options yet, and hockey/concerts/WHL/Lacrosse makes more sense.
McMahon sucks but I think you're overrating other college/CFL stadiums and general demand for a new stadium for 10-20 events per year in Calgary (and the Stamps alone).
