As Snakeye talked about they kicked the Dawgs who had a positive history in this city, out of Foothills - even though a shared arrangement made sense. They lost a lot of baseball supporters with that move.
But more than that, they made a real poor first impression on Calgary fans. The first game ever was marred by lack of staff, concessions and a delayed start time - all because they actually motivated 2,000 or so fans to come out and try it and dropped the ball by not being ready.
I've talked to some fans that went to that first game and they swore never to go back. The Vipers will never recover.
