From what I'm hearing from Calgary soccer community, the investors have a connection to the Foothills SC. They didn't say how direct that is. I'm only guessing, but perhaps it's a connection to the Wheeldon family?
I've read those rumours before on the Voyageurs site.

On the stadium front, what about Calgary Rugby Park? The location isn't great, but I'm sure the NASL club can partner with the Calgary Wolfpack and find a mutual benefit in a 5000 seat stadium? Currently seats 2400 according to the website
