BMO does
not need siginificant work to be WC-ready. They need to put up temporary seating similar to what they did for the Heritage Classic/Grey Cup. That's literally it. Perhaps they can construct additional amenities but it's not as far off as people make it out to be.
Olympic Stadium is crumbling and is the least ideal for a number of reasons (infrastructure, sightlines, multi-use headaches). It's millions of dollars for a stadium with no full-time tenant, which goes against the idea of investing funding into facilities for continued long-term use.
