Never suggested it would be in the short-term. I'm pretty sure the Flames ownership group is aware as to what MLS is and what it would take to get a franchise here, however.
Edmonton might get one before we do. FC Edmonton is already an established team and they have a beautiful stadium to play in (when there's not snow covering it). I believe they're upgrading their stadium soon as well to make a bid for the Women's FIFA World Cup... I'm almost sure of this.
