I think the World Cup would be the impetus for federal funding to build a new facility.
Yes, it would play host to a few World Cup games, but would then be taken over by a local tenant.
Did they not build Commonwealth Stadium to support a short-term sporting event and then hand it off to the City and Eskimos for future use back in the 70's?
