Biggest Challenge: “We’re a small city with a relatively big stadium.”

Yes. This is quite the challenge we face here in our little prairie city that’s run by people who want to pretend we’re a much bigger city like Calgary or Edmonton or Winnipeg so they push to build giant state-of-the art arenas. And ball stadiums. And the best football stadium in the country while showing […]
