Major league sports only work outside of Toronto/Montreal in the NHL (Quebec, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver). The other 3 leagues can do 2 Canadian teams max. The non-Toronto/Montreal markets just don't deliver the viewers needed to sustain an NFL/NBA/MLB franchise.


Mosaic Stadium (SSK) only seats 33k. IG Field (WPG) only seats 33k. McMahon Stadium (CGY) only seats 35k. The Brick Field (EDM) seats 59k and is the largest open air stadium in Canada.

There simply aren't that many seats left to draw a higher capacity in Regina or Winnipeg or Calgary.
