plus the Dwags' situation, the Dions' situation....a lot more than just the concession stands...
that's just sad. I can't support a so-called "professional" team in city that doesn't support the local youth program.

I'm no big fan of Peter Young (remember the Calgary Drillers?) but I think the 'parents couldn't sell hot dogs' thing is pretty silly.
Change baseball to hockey, Vipers to Flames, and Foothills to Saddledome, and do you think the Flames would let anybody sell food in the Dome for a minor hockey tournament? No way.
