Spot on. I don't think that it is melodramatic to suggest that this will be just another flash in the pan, but with hardly any flash, in Calgary's soccer history if a suitable place to play isn't found.

I wonder if we could somehow obtain Mr. Petrone's email address and suggest that McMahon is not where pro soccer in Calgary should be resurrected. I am surprised (shocked, even) that someone who has been around soccer in Alberta for so long would even consider McMahon as the launching pad of a successful NASL business venture. If we're old enough to remember multiple failed soccer teams playing out of McMahon, he certainly is. The common element is McMahon, although you can't let poor management and marketing off of the hook either.
