While the Impact and Whitecaps were well supported prior to the arrival of the MLS, Toronto wasn't head over heels in love with the Lynx. Nevertheless, Calgary is yet to reach the level of support required for an MLS franchise. It's not a bad thing as it provides an opportunity for Foothills to evolve like a proper club rather than a made up franchise like TFC.

Exactly! It probably won't have to go through the extreme scrutiny that they put the $7.1M cycle tracks through...
