Let's see.
A 65,000 seat arena.
8 home games.
520,000 seats to sell a year.

The population does not support it. Even an affluent population it doesn't matter. The entertainment dollar from September - January already is married to the flames.
The cfl season ends and doesn't compete with the NHL as much as NFL would.
