Chew on this Calgary, both Edmonton and Winnipeg, the left and right armpit of North America, have facilities that blow ours out of the water. Thank God we have the U of C or we would be in same category as Toledo, or even Hamilton...oh that's right even Hamilton has a new stadium

The Cannons left because other teams owners were pissed off at the extra travel up into Canada same thing happened to Edmonton Trappers 2 years later they were forced out of the PCL with a newer stadium good thing Calgary did not waste money on one, as far as new rink and football stadium no reason why this city can't find a way to do both , but they should be stand alones imo.
