A brand new MLS team could work in pre-2015 Calgary, but I'd imagine it'll be tough to have success in our new reality as a city, and 1.2 million people (which I believe is low for MLS cities).

That and the other Canadian cities had shown clear support for soccer at lower levels prior to getting a MLS team. Calgary, not so much. I just don't think there's enough true support for a soccer team in this city.
