Makes a lot more sense for the city to rent it out to the Stampeders than the Stampeders renting it out to the city for 95% of the year.

The Stamps hold training camp, exhibition games, and they also practice there all season. They won't be there just 10 days a year. They would be the primary (if not only) tenant from from the start of June through November. Dressing rooms, offices, training facilities... it would all be a part of the city's fieldhouse that the other people in the city won't be able to use.
When the other people do get to use it, it's a single field surrounded by 30,000 seats. A bit of overkill for amateur soccer, I'd say, and it wouldn't make much of a difference at all to overbooked amateur sports facilities.
