It is legal, if you signed a contract with the city stating that the city could decide when your team would play and would retain your fees, whether or not your team actually plays.

If you signed no such contract, then you can sue the city for restitution and unjust enrichment. If the fee is less than $10,000, you can sue in small claims court. See http://www.osbar.org/public/legalinfo/1061_SmallClaims.htm.
