It's full of under-used land, has good road connections out of town, and it's accessible by transit and on foot. I'm skeptical that a stadium is very useful for urban revitalization purposes, but there's nothing to lose by trying it out here--besides some strip malls, car dealerships, and one-storey warehouses.

Is there enough room at the former and soon to be demo'ed Piercy's/Rona site? I think it's come here in the past, but it was dismissed as being too small.
