There was just a pile of money dumped into the place to make it work for the Argos. Running back to the city and province for more money after there was >$100 million of upgrades done recently isn't going to happen, unless MLSE decided to foot the entire bill.
I'd imagine that MLSE wants to fill out the place regularly first, then use scarcity to raise ticket prices, subsequently improving their profits. Then, should demand hold up, they will invest in further expansion.
