Too bad concert events of that magnitude will never see Calgary again because of the lack of suitable venues.
It is a shame that the residents around McMahon have ruined any chance of having concerts or festivals there. There have been a few low key events like the flood concert and Lilith Fair but it would awesome if the big stadium shows could use McMahon.
