Methinks you have never been in the east stands? During the lightning/hail storm in 2007 against Edmonton, it took upwards of 30 mins for everyone in the east side to be able to get under the stands for protection. Also... many thought there was nothing wrong with Ottawa's stadium... that worked out well right? A short while after they had a packed stadium, they noticed cracks and had to condemn it. Mosaic was built at about the same time... and I doubt construction standards were higher here...
It's old, obsolete, and there is no point in redeveloping it (portions would defiinitely have to be torn down and rebuilt) on its current site as there is not enough space to expand it due to streets and surrounding houses.
That is why something new somewhere else is the answer.
