This is where I shake my head. "X number of bands are garbage" is not a fruitful argument to even start with.
There is every indication that you'll have similar crowds in Calgary as you will in Edmonton. In fact, you'll have less crowds in Edmonton because then Calgarians aren't compelled to travel up there to catch these acts.
Pretty sure 9 Garth Brooks shows would have been 5-6 in Edmonton and the rest in Calgary (if not a bit more in Calgary's favor) if he didn't skip the Saddledome as a venue. Which he did. And Calgary lost for it.
