And yet in Halifax, 6000 people showed up in July to watch an "Atlantic selects" team take on Fortuna Dusseldorf's U21 side. Prices were $15-35 for the game. A few players on the Atlantic Selects were former Calgary Foothills PDL castaways. Not exactly a high level.
I think the Calgary market has more to do with it than you think. This city shows up for the big events and everything else isn't good enough.
