Im guessing that in the past Vickers had more influence with politicians and bureaucrats at city hall. Vickers likely greased all the right palms and had his way with getting permits he needed. As the city has grown and changed so has the goings on at city hall. Its possible hes banged heads with someone along the way.
This is politics after all... so its safe to assume theres some politics going on behind the scenes.

BTW, what was the capacity of the 'old Cowboys'? According to the Herald story the new one was to hold up to 900 people. Also, anybody know if they would have been able to have an overflow area a la their yearly parking lot/tent area during Stampede?
