I wonder if the Southern family invests in a more permanent, larger capacity facility during the off-season (i.e. Seaman ballpark in Okotoks).

I was skeptical at first, location being one thing. Seems to be an appetite for the pro version of the sport as the city has become more cosmopolitan.

The Boomers didn't work in the 1980s because the NASL then was marketed in a North American pro-league style, rather than a club-based, grassroots European model the MSL has adopted.

The CanPL is still in its teething period, but I can see Cavalry being a flagship franchise.
