In a lot of ways building a new stadium (as opposed to a stand) is like building a new neighbourhood. First you have to bring in all the utilities and the services that are below ground before you even start on the stands and the services around them.
Cav got a big leg up being at Spruce Meadows, and even with that ATCO field is a great playing field with a couple of temp seating areas, and little if any permanent amenities that don't require a bit of a walk to get to.
