I would rather see a 120-150M$ spent on something that does all of the above !!!!
Absolutely!

The stadium has to be "good enough" to potentially attract a CFL team. And it should be big enough for concerts etc. A small, cheap stadium will be a waste IMHO. Better to just hold on to the money (ya right ) till there is enough to do it right.

I suppose a lower cost option would be to build it in phases. As long as the infrastructure was installed for a premium, larger stadium, the seats and other amenities could be added as budget allowed.
