Now obviously his math doesn't make sense because of STHs who might buy two seats for a whole season thus eating up 90 transactions with 1 transaction. He acknowledges this fact but then pushes on with his 850,000 transaction ideas.

Has to make me wonder why CSEC would push ahead with arena at all. If the Flames are eating up 850,000 transactions in a city of 1.2M people, and the hope is to have at least as many people attend other events like concerts, that means the arena needs 1.7M transactions in a city of 1.2M people. We are in a transaction deficit!
