Since you can't counter that argument, you instead invented a strawman position to attack.

Since it's effectively impossible to determine why bands choose to skip somewhere (the bands don't usually tell you why they aren't playing somewhere, of course), we're all speculating. The building is a factor. The biggest? Could be. Could also be Edmonton and Calgary are comparable market sizes and bands who play arena shows often choose to only play one.
