It would be embarassing if Canada hosts a World Cup in 13 years, but skips Calgary because our facilities are lacking (which is exactly what happened in 2007 and will happen in 2015).

Exactly. My guess is that if a new stadium is not in place, Calgary will be left off the list of venues.

Games would then be played in Vancouver, Winnipeg, Hamilton, Toronto and Montreal. Perhaps even Regina. And without Calgary, that really could hurt our bid chances given Calgary's international connections.
