Team Facilities: Don't think they've invested enough here...ignore the Saddledome for a second...the fact this team doesn't have their own training and practice facility is a bit embarrassing on it's own, especially since it could be leveraged across all their investments (Flames, Hitmen, Wranglers, Stampeders).
So IMO it's a bit of mixed bag but really they've spent to the cap forever, so can't complain too much.
The bigger issue is stuff I've heard about them being pretty suggestive about hockey decisions (an example I heard is that it was Edwards that really pushed to sign Neal once he was still available after day 1 of free agency) but at the same time if I owned the team I'd do the same thing...so I can't fault him lol.

Winsport is world class, not sure why they would need this. Team Canada has chosen it multiple times to host camps when they have a lot of options.
