Basically, as Kavvy said, it appears the Stamps/Flames are attempting to get the city to pay for a huge chunk of their new stadium by calling it a fieldhouse. It may be altruistic on the part of the Stamps but I doubt it. They just want the money.
If we're going to do what is best for the amateur athletes, we will see a fieldhouse build in another location that has nothing to do with the Stamps stadium.

How exactly would sharing the fieldhouse with the Stampeders compromise the amateur athletes use of the facility? Again this is just sensationalizing.
