Seeing how big Portand's stadium is, it does make sense that Real could not fit it on a SLC block.

According to Google Maps, the block under consideration previously for the stadium in downtown is 650ft squared (inside the sidewalk). Length-wise, Rio Tinto is approximately 565 feet long. So, yes, the stadium could have fit on a downtown block.
