If you want to know why the Calgary Vipers failed, look no further than Seaman Stadium.
Peter Young was a colossal dickbag toward the Dawgs. He viewed them as an enemy to be squashed, and since the city gave him the lease to Foothills, he did everything he could to drive the college team under. That caught the attention of the Seaman brothers, who put up the money to build that ballpark. And make no bones about it, when people like the Seamans take notice of how much of an a-hole you are, the entirety of Calgary's business community takes notice.
Young could have played nice, worked with everyone and both teams could have survived, and even thrived, in Calgary, with a new park.
