This site would be fantastic for a modular stadium which is something a lot of CanPL clubs are doing. These modular stadiums can often be used for a variety of sporting events or outdoor events.
One example is Halifax. They figured they could get their modular stadium up in about half a year. It would be a great segue application for the property and be a destination. It's right on the LRT line and close to TWB so that checks my boxes.

There was talk about this earlier this year, but it seems to have gone quiet. What would they need to make a go of it in Kitchener, about 5,000 seats?
That's the expected need. They were hoping for a 2018 launch, but it sounds like it has moved to 2019. More pieces needed to come together. Hamilton and Winnipeg have been announced and I believe that Calgary and Halifax should be announced in the next couple of months. Edmonton and Ottawa to join as well.
Saskatoon and Kitchener sound like the next best applicant.
