I have had a couple of non-soccer friends do the 'ol "so Calgary is getting a soccer team" thing to me, so that's encouraging. Plus I did see a fair bit of traction on social media and on the news sites last night.
Say what you want about the mistakes of the past with professional soccer in this city, but a lot has changed. The population of the city for one, but even more importantly, social media wasn't even a thing in the Storm/Mustangs era.
I'm not saying that the media getting on board isn't helpful, because it absolutely is, but the club should still be able to reach its niche in ways that old ghosts of Calgary soccer could never dream of.
