If they don't want to pay, that's fine. But somebody does, so it will have to be a consideration. The Stadium is simply not going forward without remediation. You can't just pretend it doesn't exist.

As for location, there are several of plots of land around the city where they can build...they'd just have to buy the piece of land (you know, like every other developer who wants to build something). Stampede Park or the Remington Lands close by are still good options for a stadium, and would be much easier to work with.
