We won't be able to compete, especially with the recent tax changes that further reduce transfers, the wealth inequality will only grow in the US and we won't be able to keep up. Sports team aren't driven by the city, but the 10% of the city that would actually go to the game. And as those people get richer, they'll be willing to pay more and more. To be honest, I'm perfectly ok with Calgary never having an MLS/NBA/MLB team. Instead having our current teams which are affordable for families and everyday people to attend.Other than Toronto, outside of hockey, it really is a struggle for Canadian cities to keep their pro sports franchises when the US has dozens of cities willing to spend obscene amounts of taxpayer dollars for pro sports facilities.
