Then don't make the seats permanent. This isn't rocket science.

Yes. Major sports events are rarely seen as legitimate if they're not taking place in the country's centre of entertainment/business/everything. You put games in Edmonton instead of Toronto and every other country in the world is going "Huh? Where?" It would be the equivalent of Spain playing all its matches in Seville or France in Bordeaux

It doesn't have to be 22k seats less if we add temporary/permanent seating. This isn't difficult to wrap ones mind around.
Again, Canada shouldn't be selecting stadiums simply because they're big. The US is going to win the big stadium Olympics every time, Canada should be focusing on using specialized stadiums to provide a counter balance to the mammoth buildings they'll be using down south.
