The elephant in the room is that BC place, Commonwealth, NMS, IGF and the Big Owe (depending on its structural integrety) would be the top 5 stadiums in the running to host for WCup in Canada based on the actual acceptability of stadiums themselves. But based on popular opinion in the 3 largest CMAs of who should be entitled, it's Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver though.
Frankenstein-ing BMO by shoehorning the bare minimum seats required would be a huge national embarrassment, especially in comparison to all the stadium offerings in the USA.
As far as city infrastructure goes, only Vancouver has regular rail transit to & from airport etc. Edmonton & Montreal don't have rail transit to their downtown's from airport & it's a 30 minute drive to stadium from each of their airports, which isn't bad considering transit/drive time to stadium in USA cities.
Interestingly, NMS has the best & newest on site training rooms/pools/physio/press area of all stadiums that would be most looked for by the world soccer teams.
