Honestly Clay, you are just being obtuse for the sake of it. It is well known that many acts skip Calgary because of limitations of the Saddledome. The problem here is that others have given you an excuse to be obtuse by incorrectly making it a "big name act" issue when it is actually an issue of the rigging for stages, special effects and the like and the Saddledome roof's inability to support those larger rigs.

And if Edmonton has a new arena, and Calgary has a new arena, and they can still only play one or the other....you're acting like a new arena guarantees Calgary never gets skipped again. Unless Calgary is renaming itself Toronto, it's still in line to get skipped.

Assuming it is an Edmonton or Calgary scenario is a ridiculous fallacy.
