If they got those two things, though (impossible) they could support a team. They'd probably be 20-25 in revenue.

Talking about Calgary getting a team in one of the worlds biggest pro sports leagues, when there isn't a single team in Canada is just ridiculous. Even if the NFL wants to come to Canada which I am not certain they do Calgary would be anywhere from 3rd to 6th on their list of prospective Canadian Cities.
Desire, Money, Fan Base any way you want to look at it. Speculation is ridiculous up to the point that there is already an established team in Toronto, and Even then I am still certain they would move to Vancouver of Montreal before considering Calgary, depending on their goals.
