As one of the reasons I left Calgary was to live in a city where I didn't need to drive most places, the location of ATCO Field was a serious concern of mine when the Cavs launched. However, they rather impressively fostered a fantastic matchday experience that overcomes the location issue for me when I'm in town. Fingers crossed that Wild FC can, similarly, manage to overcome the obstacles McMahon poses in terms of providing an intimate football environment.
