I'm sure a new stadium would get a little bit more use, but how much more? It would cost (very conservatively) a hundred million bucks and for that we'd get a couple concerts a year like Edmonton does, and maybe the occasional exhibition between the Seahawks and the Vikings.
I might even be interested in the concerts, I'd go to more Stamps games, and definitely seeing an NFL exhibition 10 minutes from home would be cool, but the vast majority of the locals would never use it, but they'd be paying for it.
CSEC would never pay for it and I can't blame 'em.
I have no answers for the football stadium other than taxpayers shouldn't be on the hook for it.
