No, but you did invent an argument that people who realize we need a new arena if we're going to have any hope of getting more large shows are actually saying that "Calgary will never be skipped for concerts ever again" if we got a new arena. That is not what the person you replied to said, and that is not what anyone has said. The argument being presented is that the state of the arena is the single largest factor in why Calgary often gets skipped. Since you can't counter that argument, you instead invented a strawman position to attack.
