Simply because you wouldn’t have to add 10k-15k for special events, and the stadium would be easily expanded (or opened) whenever demand requires. All the while allowing for a more intimate atmosphere with the seats not exposed.
Think of it along the lines of B.C. Place, though not on the same scale, and with a way better system of hiding the unused seats.
It wouldn’t just be for GC either. Calgary could use an extra few thousand 3-4 times during the football season where there may be enough demand which allows... LDC, Rider game, home playoff game. Not to mention for other entertainment events.
