I'm not sure what reality you're living in, but it ain't the same as the rest of us.

Shanks is horrible.
Part of the reason for that was lack of resources to improve the place. Conversely, no new sports bars arose. Meanwhile, down south sports bars are getting bigger and bigger. Through the entire weekend, these places are packed with people of all ages.
Meanwhile in Calgary, where not only local teams are very well supported, but there is a significant following for non-domestic sports like the NFL, there isn't a single popular sports bar. Calgary is very much a sports town, yet no one is going out to see the games.
