Pop up stadiums are not a new idea for the CFL. The Alouettes played in the Autostade in the 1960’s and 1970’s. It was also used for soccer. Parts of it still exist today:

It was a bit different than current pop-up stadiums … built for Expo 1967, the main stands were concrete structures, built with the intention to later transport them for use as permanent stands in various locales around Quebec afterwards … the concrete stands were “filled in” with metal seating to “join” them sometime after it became home to the Alouettes in 1968.
