The response is mostly that it would be a fun idea at $20-$30 but the top levels being $40 and good seats being $60 is mostly a non starter and they find other outdoor activities and events. And that's in Calgary where the team has done an amazing job with the stadium and supporters have done an incredible job creating a fun, unique atmosphere.
Now imagine Calgary at least has the atmosphere and experience going for it and many see it as very pricy, where other Canadian teams have the same soccer and prices without the great Spruce Meadows experience? That cannot work. Ands we're starting to see it.

I really don't under stand folks saying $40 is pricey. Maybe 5 years ago, but in 2025 money that is about what entertainment costs.
You can't buy two decent steaks for less than $35
Going to the Calgary zoo is like $40, and going to the movies is about $20 a seat.
Hell the cheapest tickets to a Flames game are $40 and those tickets are a hell of a lot worse.
It certainly is not cheap... but its not pricey.
