Well it's when, not if. And no one is disputing that a new Stadium would be for the Stamps. That doesn't mean that it can't have the ability to be transformed into a good soccer stadium. Despite the issues with FIFA, it would be awesome if the Qatar '22 games got move to North America and Calgary could be part of it. Right now, if that happened, Edmonton -- EDMONTON -- would be represting Alberta/Canada as one of the only viable stadiums. As proud Canadians, we just can't allow that to happen.
