Well I hadn't heard of Metric before, and although I wasn't blown away by them during the intermission by any means, I can certainly see why people like them.
I have absolutely no issues at all with them being part of the Heritage Classic.
The biggest problem I had with the whole thing was the 13 people they brought down to surround the stage in what seemed like an attempt at creating a "concert atmosphere". I'm not sure if that was an extra ticket purchased by the die hard Metric fan, or if they won some kind of draw for a stage-side experience, or if it was open for anyone to go down there - all I know is that whenever the TV camera panned the vast throng of 13 fans the only thing I could do was - well, let's just say it wasn't working for me.
