You are right it is a trade off and up to people to decide if its worth it. To me its not about loss of revenue necessarily but since its intended to be a public facility, more about usage and accessibility.

If you add up Flames, Stamps, Hitmen, other events, concerts etc. I am concerned we'll find there will be a large number of conflicts so I think its a relevant issue.
It's relevant for sure. I was looking at as a dollars and cents issue, but there is more than that, for sure.
Perhaps a better example is the usage of the round-up centre. I think there are conflicts with Flames games, for example, the Car Show or the Boat show. Can they co-exist, yes. Would I go on a Flames night? Probably not, as it might be harder to get there/park. Either way, it isn't a deal breaker for me.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
