Actually no, it's because of the construction at BMO. As for being the so called National Soccer Stadium the only commitment the CSA has to BMO is one decently attended game of either the men's or women' NT. There's no minimum requirement for games any more, but there is a minimum for tickets sales per year (16,000). So one decently attended game is the only level of commitment required to be the NSS.
Being designated the NSS means about as much now as it did when it was in Edmonton. It really means the biggest stadium with a turf surface.
Despite the outcome of the game last night BC Place has proven that we don't even need to even bother with a turf surface anymore and that we can play at whatever stadium best suits us, turf or artificial turf.
In another year we'll have this as another option
