There is a CFL stadium building resurgence and we would be silly to miss out on it and watch our dump of a stadium get even dumpier.
I'm all for a new football/MLS/etc stadium. But I think (a) another regular user needs to exist, (b) it needs to be downtown and (c) it should come after a new NHL/WHL/Lacrosse/concert venue since there's significantly more demand in place already.

Regina and Hamilton - the CFL is the only professional show in town and Winnipeg and Ottawa have significantly newer arenas already - done before major renos to their 10-20 use per year stadiums.
