The football field would be used for Stampeders practice and games.
So it wouldn't be beneficial to put a track around a football field because it would have to be closed during football practices, inconveniencing athletes and the public.
Also, the courts and such are usually in the centre of the track.

The football field would have 10 games a year spread over 5 months and two hour daytime practices make it little used. Having a full track around it that could be covered by movable seats for games would be a good idea. My daughter was a middle distance runner in the mid 90s and their was no decent indoor facilities in Calgary at the time. I doubt it's changed. Of course if they are going to build a full sized track in the fieldhouse that would be great but I was looking for a way to maximize the use of the stadium.
