The CTC has seen an influx in fans since the team was sold to Michael Andlauer in 2023.
Ottawa might not have a reputation for being a sports town, but attendance figures suggest otherwise. The latest wave of sports franchises is hoping there's more room to grow.The Canadian Tire Centre has seen an influx in fans since the team was sold to Michael Andlauer in 2023. The number of professional sports teams in Ottawa is growing, and each one is vying for the hearts —and disposable income— of fans.
While there are more than enough defunct sports teams to legitimize those worries, people in positions of influence on Ottawa's current teams, say times have changed. "I've said this for years, it's not that much different than saying to me, 'Do restaurants work in Ottawa?' I'd say this, good restaurants work in Ottawa."
"Fans want to back a winner. They want to be proud of their team," says Hunt. For new owners like Andlauer, "there's an initial bump or honeymoon period with new franchises and an element of excitement and novelty but after that you have to start delivering." Atletico Ottawa CEO Fernando Lopez is banking on quality soccer and community engagement to build a successful franchise in the city.
Another differentiator for the Titans, according to Katz, is their commitment to a "love local" approach.
