The WNT is playing games around the country and some of the places they play are not any better than what we have in Calgary. They'll play on turf in Langford, they'll make players use portapotties in Halifax, they'll play in a 75% empty stadium in Winnipeg (which to be fair was only becuase it was a sendoff match for Desiree Scott) or in front of 90% opposition supporters in Montreal.
I would argue Calgary should be able to to host a WNT game at Spruce Meadows or maybe McMahon now that there's turf.

Calgary could be the home base of the women's team. Calgary is easy to fly to and you are right that they could play at Atco, or for really big matches, McMahon.
