Same with businesses except for those that cater directly to the event center (ie sports bars/restaurants, parking lots, hotels).
For everyone else its probably more of a hassle to have thousands of people roaming around 3-4 times per week.
I've been to LA Live a couple of times in the past two years and I experienced the same thing there as in Edmonton. They have a little zone with some bars/restaurants that experiences a bunch of activity before the game, but the area as a whole isn't benefiting greatly from an event center.

I live in Oliver and that's really the best of both worlds imo. I walked to the Oil Kings games the other day but don't get the post Oilers game flood onto the streets.
