So it really boils down to soccer/football type stadiums. And it just so happens that Montreal has two of them that meet their needs. And if the need arises for something larger, couldn't Saputo be augmented with temporary seats?
It just seems crazy to keep this incredibly expensive, oversized stadium going because someday "we might" need it. It would be like me trading in my car for a Greyhound bus on the assumption that I "might need" to drive around 55 people on a regular basis someday.

But that's precisely what humans (and their societies) often do. Not saying it's good BTW.
I am reminded of a scene in the movie Over the Hedge where wild animals end up in a suburban neighbourhood and they stumble upon a humongous SUV.
One of the animals say: "Wow! You can transport so many humans in that thing!"
And another says: "Naaaaaah. Generally just one."
