A few of us were talking about this the other day. The one suggestion that was made was to put the NFL stadium on the northern part of the city. That way it would be an easier drive for people from Edmonton and to a lesser extent Red Deer. Heck you could even incorperate a shuttle bus to run people to the airport. Run the NE LRT to the stadium and you'd be set.

Right now the closest NFL team is 12 hours away, and with not as many people in Calgary being set on having one favourite team; it is possible it could fly.

Unlikely, but possible.
