Quite a bit more actually. So when the new building doesn't change that, then what?

It WILL change with a new building...I am not saying there will never be another act to skip Calgary. (scheduling ect.)
I know for a FACT that acts are skipping the dome because of the restrictions of the roof. With a new building Calgary will have more "big draw" events that will bring money into the economy...its a fact
did you miss the latest country star (name escapes me) that had to do an acoustic set last week because they were worried his sound system would pull down the roof? lol
We can debate who pays for the thing, there is no debate that a new building would bring more arts and entertainment to the city
