Foothills Stadium

Baseball is not doing so well in Calgary (Alberta, Canada). Looking at Foothills Stadium, it is not hard to tell that the sport has been forgotten in recent years, at least at the professional level.

This stadium opened 58 years ago and had been home to many teams throughout history (AAA Calgary Cannons, Independent league Calgary Vipers, University of Calgary Dinos..... Dawgs, Outlaws, Expos, Cardinals.... you name it). So it is really painful to see how neglected the stadium is nowadays. It is not being used much and frankly I don't think anybody is even interested in maintaining it.

In fact, the city and University of Calgary are actively planning to redevelop the area into a modern athletic park, complete with its own entertainment district. The plan seems destined to succeed and that is great for Calgary, except..... there is no baseball field in the design, as far as I know.

So, Foothills Stadium will be demolished eventually but I still have Calgary Cannons in my OOTP save. The team is not going anywhere and they will continue to play in this stadium

Fun fact: Outfield fences are 20 feet high. I did not realize that Calgary is 3,438 feet above sea level and "foothills" is actually part of the Rocky mountains. This place is not quite Coors Field (which has 5200 ft altitude), but it is still pretty high up. Should be a hitter's ballpark even with those high walls.
