I am spending at least 5k in Edmonton this year...one person
I agree the owners should be paying a large sum, city should also step up IMO

So here's the obvious question: If Calgary builds a new arena, and it still gets skipped for Edmonton more often than not, then what? People are acting like a new arena is the silver bullet, that Calgary will never get skipped again, and in fact bands will start skipping Edmonton for Calgary. It's been discussed in the concert thread, but Edmonton promoters are apparently much easier to work with than Calgary ones. There's a lot more to bands skipping Calgary than just the building. Quite a bit more actually. So when the new building doesn't change that, then what?
