The Stamps problem is football is a TV sport and it's only becoming even more of a TV sport and less of a spectator sport. It's extremely difficult to justify any significant money for a new stadium, unless that stadium is not bound by NIMBY-ism. But since being on or near transit line is essential to ensuring anyone goes to any new stadium, that basically ensures NIMBY-ism will be a problem and hosting any other types of events will be a non-starter unless it's a stadium on the edge of Seton or Rocky Ridge. If I was King and Co. I would fully support Vic Park and then just hope the city gets the Olympics and maybe you get a stand alone stadium for free, ideally something that's not terrible and no good like CalgaryNEXT.
