Agreed. But all indications are that the two have a somewhat friendly relationship, i.e. they won't be at each other's throats. Maybe they have even reached a bit of understanding as the Bombers seem to have done with TN... is it possible that 50 Below agrees not to compete aggressively for concerts with TN and in exchange, TN might stage a few shows at The Rink?

As Danny D pointed out, this facility seems to be 100% about hockey, so I doubt concerts are a priority for 50 Below anyway.
