Nope, way more, and it's the biggest touring acts, which makes it even worse. In the future keep an eye on bands that go to Edmonton and not Calgary.

That's not to mention the bands that skip Alberta altogether because they can't justify only going to Edmonton because they can't play the Saddledome.

Also, we get doubly screwed because of our football stadium situation. Commenwealth Stadium in Edmonton hosts major acts like ACDC, U2 and the police, that skipped Calgary because of McMAhon. Not to mention they obviously got the benifit of bigger crowds for the Rolling Stones, Taylor Swift and Bon Jovi, who al played the Dome in Calgary and Commenwealth in Edmonton.
