What's even more likely would be going to the expense of building a "World Cup ready" facility in Calgary, and then never hosting a single World Cup game.
We need a hockey rink and a CFL stadium. I really hope the World Cup isn't part of the considerations.

I find it funny sometimes there is so much "small town" thinking in Calgary.
Why can't Canada, one of the richest per capita G8 nations, host the premier sporting event in the world? Why can't the largest city in Alberta, the richest per capita province in Canada host World Cup matches?
Blows my mind sometimes how people think so small.
