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 overused amateur sports facilities.

Well then the Stampeders are not a viable business then. BC, Winnipeg, Regina, Toronto, Hamilton all were funded predominantly or completely by public funds.
They will not build it privately. So you either fund it or you lose the team. There isn't a middle ground.
