This is just a one-off game which I think is a fun idea for the season opener. They are still playing out of Winsport for the remainder of their home games which I think is the perfect facility for this level of basketball. I agree that they should not be looking to play out of the Saddledome on permanent basis as they would not draw a large enough crowd to create the kind of atmosphere that they have while playing at Winsport.
I am curious what the economic picture looks like to keep this league afloat long-term. I enjoy having the option to attend low level pro basketball, soccer (Cavalry), baseball (Dawgs) in Calgary as I know we could not support top tier leagues for any of these sports. I know ticket prices seem a bit high for this level especially if you want to take the family to a game. I wish there were more affordable options for family packages to attend all of these teams.
