Quebec City received $200 million for their new arena from the province. Montreal will receive substantial funding from the province for a new stadium contingent upon the return of the Expos. The City will also contribute. Combined I wouldn't be surprised if the government gave at least $200 million or more. Have a ticket tax to pay off another portion over 20-25 years of course with a loan from the province. Then you the owners fronting another $150 million or so. There's your $500 million.

Bell of course will be involved looking for desperately needed content to compliment their CFL games on TSN. 162 games of baseball fills in evening/afternoon slots quite nicely in the spring/summer/fall.
