I actually enjoyed watching the Calgary Storm play on the grass field at Foothills Athletic Park. It was maintained nicely. Although it was a small facility, the sightlines were fantastic.
This news is definitely a step in the right direction. I'm looking forward to see what comes of it all.

If that indoor fieldhouse that's been discussed is built, I'd like to see the Foothills track torn down and rebuilt as a 5000 seat stadium. Not sure if there's room for it.
