1). Would require a ton of money,
2). Would require approval of HUD, presumably.
3). No ones first choice, but doable if folks are in the "Let's make a deal" mode.
4). Would have been ideal for the arena, and the arena would not have to be so much below grade. Aesthetically awful, I'd think for a soccer stadium. Stadiums which seat 20 - 30k [[30k is typical for MAC football, e.g., CMU, WMU, EMU, etc.) and those are best in areas without tall buildings. The sun rises over the east stands and sets over the west. It doesn't have a 'walled in' feel to it.
5). ???????????
BTW, another requirement: stadiums like football, soccer, etc. should run north - south because of that thing called "the sun." Don't want players looking into the sun. Some sites would not work if the parcel doesn't fit a north/south playing field.
