If the rumors about the new arena + stadium complex are true the Flames would be stupid not to buy an NASL team themselves. Build the new stadium with an upper deck you can close off for soccer like BC Place until the fanbase grows and you add 16 odd home dates you can book in the stadium.
Of course a purpose built little 10k soccer stadium would be ideal but I think this makes the most sense and with the marketing might of the Flames behind them the team would succeed.
Never thought about it that way but it is amazing that the CFL is getting stadiums built for that kind of money with 8 or 9 home games a year.
