Yah BC Place stadium for example is 260 m x 210 m roughly. Now it is gigantic from a soccer perspective but even Swangard Stadium in Burnaby is 140 m x 210m.
So you need at least a minimum footprint of about that for a small stadium, and if they want something more akin to BMO Field in Toronto you'd need 160m x 170m.
There are really no plots of land right in Surrey Central to accommodate something that size. Bridgeview is about the only area.
