Remediating for a stadium is relatively cheap, remediating it for housing would be way more expensive.

Plus unlike the stadium, there would be no public money for cleanup for condos, and anyone thinking developers have deep enough pockets to do the kind of remediation required for housing on their own, is dreaming in technicolour. Kind of like imagining the school board would have gone along with moving SJAM wholesale to a nice new building somewhere, in time to start construction for the games, and not simply closed the school altogether. I support a downtown stadium, but not at the expense of a valuable high school like SJAM.
