The building should, and maybe it eventually will. Given that there was virtually no lacrosse community in Calgary when the Roughnecks were formed in 2001, to pull in over 100,000 fans this year shows remarkable growth. It takes time to build a product.
And relating this back to the topic at hand, the Roughnecks have generally done a good job building an entertaining product that people want to see. Your letter to the paper regarding the Vipers places a lot of blame on the fans, whereas I believe the greater fault lies with Gidney and Young failing to build a product that will entice people back to the ballpark.
