Answer is simply that in order to accommodate the track you have to set the seats back 100 feet or so from the playing field that could be used for football, soccer, etc. No football team is going to play in such stadium as it would make it harder to sell tickets.



That was part of the reason why the Raiders went back to Oakland. Sight lines at the Coliseum were garbage:
