Completely agree, but I'd also say that keeping up with the Jones' in terms of big concerts is a low priority and among the weakest arguments for supporting this kind of project.

Beyond some big concerts, we missed out on a Women's World Cup game. Beyond that, it's pretty equal - each city gets some stuff that the other misses, and that's okay.
