Forget about the age of the stadium, it's not about age, it's about money. TIAA Bank Field is still missing certain revenue streams other, newer stadiums have. It's not as bad as it could, since the stadium was built with luxury suites and has since been renovated enough to keep a decent revenue stream going, but my guess is that in it's current state it's simply not bringing as much high level revenue as it can be if it were renovated.

I've heard the revenue stream thing before, but really what revenue streams are missing from TIAA? The newer stadiums have a bit nicer amenities in some cases, no doubt but premium seating and fan specialty areas exist in most stadiums these days. The main source of revenue remains the fans and keeping them coming to the stadium and spending money is the main thing, good football, food and beverages choices, premium seating options, connectivity, etc.
