The American Basketball Association's Calgary Drillers made their home debut with little fanfare at the Stampede Corral against the visiting Las Vegas Rattlers.
It's too bad only about 300 fans were on hand to witness the Drillers lose 114-104 because the ABA brand of basketball packs excitement, as those in the crowd found out.
The Drillers, sporting white uniforms with fl trim, had only four workings days to prepare for the game and, considering the short time frame, things went fairly smoothly.

 Help the Dawgs
Even though the Calgary Dawgs have successfully operated out of Foothills Stadium for 3 consecutive years and won the WMBL championship before almost 4000 appreciative Calgary fans in 2004, the club may be denied a venue to play its home games in 2006
Thus in the spring of 2005, before a pitch was thrown, before the Calgary NL franchise even had a name, the Northern League head offices stepped in and assumed control.
It is shocking that City Parks, having witnessed the untimely demise of numerous non local, “professional” franchises going back to the CBL Outlaws, the Drillers and Calgary Professional Baseball, and knowing full well that the Vipers would prevent the Dawgs from playing at Foothills Stadium, did nothing to protect the Dawgs.
