I`m still in awe at the fact that a replacement stadium for McMahon isn`t seriously being considered at this point in time.

This city has a tremendous base of wealth, and a new McMahon stadium - an INDOOR stadium, mind you, would be the logical next step for the Stamps, the University of Calgary and all subsequent events you could have in there.

MLS could become a viable option in Calgary once a roofed stadium is built. Our climate is just not favourable towards soccer to have a team play outside. Soccer WILL succeed when people know they can watch a professional franchise inside.

Regina is getting ready to break ground for their new stadium, and I`m still baffled Calgary can`t get their act in order. We badly need a new football-soccer-concert stadium. We have money, just no one is prepared to take the next serious step.
