What I'd like is for them to stay there, but add very limited, steepl seating right along the field with the players benches tight close to the seats. So basically maybe 6-8 rows high all the way across with very steep seats that basically add a 20-30 foot high barrier to properly enclose the stadium.

This would add maybe 1000 seats and give us a really beautiful, intimate and intimidating 6500 seat stadium.
Personally, I don't see a new stadium happening any time soon. Maybe a decade out at earliest. Gotta keep growing demand and start selling out Spruce Meadows to begin with.
