I don't think they would be too keen to add a footy team into the fold, especially an entry-level club. Personally, I don't know how well a purpose built footy ground would fit into an entertainment district occupied with both a Flames arena and a Stamps stadium. As these two structures would take up two very large inner-city blocks, the rest of the area would need to be composed of smaller developments to help nurture the human-scale feel successful inner-city neighbourhoods provide.
