Good to see. Even though it’s resource based it’s still diversity from oil and gas.

On a positive note, things must be good when the Stampede is adding more suites, from a Herald article on Tourism.
Calgary Stampede CEO Joel Cowley says tickets for the rodeo and evening show are outpacing last year's record, with premium stadium seating already on an extensive waiting list. They're tearing down a structure on the north end of the stadium to build more, as soon as this year's Stampede ends.
"We'll add seven new suites and a party deck on top to help meet that demand," Cowley said. "That's going to be ready for 2026."
The building currently houses broadcast production, judges and EMTs in the space, although Cow- ley says the new construction will house all three in addition to the new suites. He says that no regular seating is being sacrificed for the sake of the premium, and that the only thing being relocated is a room that the Calgary Stampede chuckwagon and relay committee uses to host during the rodeo and evening shows.

They needed more runway and failed to turn it into viable product. On Reddit, insiders make it sounds like their board was captured by the founder(s), who should have been supplemented or replaced at least a few years back.
