It's home to the UofC Baseball team... Babe Ruth... Baseball Calgary... Sr. Men's ... Why should it be torn down it gets used almost daily - there really isn't any facilities in this city for baseball at that level besides Optimist and Glenmore that are decent... I coached at UofC and we had to play a DH at Optimist because of the Viper holding spring camp - there were 13 home runs in the two games - might be good for 16-18 year old's but doesn't cut it for collegiate play and that level.
We will never see another AAA level team here ... but we could see a Rookie league team - look at how successful Vancouver's team is - same deal they had a team in the PCL with the Cannons - kept the facility going with the UBC team and the same kind of teams using Foothills until someone came along with a short season A club and it's packed every night.
