The first one, I'd be shocked if it actually happened. Even if it does go through, it's not going to be nearly the same size as Legion Field, so the word "replacement" is a bit of a stretch. I wouldn't be torn up with a smaller stadium around 50,000 that could function as a quality arena with around 25,000.
The comment about population isn't completely unreasonable, but 10,000 seems to be pushing it. If I'm not mistaken, the city's population increased oh so slightly in the past couple of years.
