Apparently they couldn't play out of McMahon unless they had better artificial turf like the Argonauts have at the Skydome. League would only let them play on that crappy turf for one season.

They are planning on paying $600,000 to put new turf into McMahon in hopes they can come back for 2006.

I think you mean "foothills" thats next door to Mcmahon they got come bleachers, at least 300 people can watch at once, its great!!! Why in the world would the "mustangs" play at mcmahon???????

I think the echo of those 28 fans cheering might rattle aroud in there. You do know Mcmahon is a place where like 40000 people come to watch pro football right?? So what are they gonna do with the other 39500 seats they DONT fill every game??? They couldnt GIVE em away, well they could, if they wanted to fly in some euros to watch the game, other than euros.........noone cares.

Yeah.........and the turf isnt good enough for them.........righhhhht. The ground that they run and kick a ball on, isnt good enough for them...........righhhhhhht Beacuse the ground that football players can go to war on, dig into, get driven into isnt good enough for some long haired fruits to prance around and kick a checkered ball?????? Come on man.

THAT is why we dont like soccer in Canada, "ahhhhhhhhh we need new turf to run, this turf hurts are toes ahhhhhhhhhhhhh" GO BACK TO EUROPE [/b][/quote]
In a prefect world they wouldn't be playing out of McMahon. I'm sure they wouldn't mind a 10000-15000 seat outdoor stadium be built but that's not going to happen.

I have never been to a professional soccer game so I can't say I will miss them, but I rather see professional sport teams stay than leave.

10000-15000 What kinda crack are you smokin buddy???

Go and take a look at the prevoius attendance, for ANY past Calgary soccer team.

Divide that # by 10, and were talkin.

And dont give me the "the only got 200 fans cause they got a bad stadium" no, they got a bad stadium beacuse they can only get 200 fans.

What a well informed, balanced and educated statement that was.

There's not much use in arguing some of those stereotypical points, especially since you like to quote yourself in your own sig.

To the issue of a better field.

If you can comprehend it, playing soccer on hard, bouncy turf where the ball will roll the whole field as opposed to grass or even field turf, makes the game as different as players playing ice hockey vs. having to play roller hockey.

Plus, I don't think you'll get many glowing recommendations from the McMahon turf from ANY CFL player.

To the new stadium. The push was on to convert Foothills into a soccer field, with seating around 8000 after the Cannons left. Besides being a soccer feild, it would've be a good alternative for other smaller outdoor events that would need that sort of space, and parking etc that goes along with the stadium (smaller concerts and other gatherings, for example).

Half the players on the team were born and bred in Calgary/Alberta and come up through the Calgary/Alberta soccer system.

They all have haircuts.
