"The only other arena in the Golden Horseshoe similar to the size of our building is Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. The theory is that with all the acts touring these days it can’t handle everything. So there should be plenty of big shows available to come to Hamilton. We’re going to become an extension of the Toronto concert market.
According to Pistore, OVG management will watch to see what dates are locked up for Maple Leafs or Raptors games — days a concert couldn’t be held there — and look to book FirstOntario Centre with travelling acts at those times. Since those teams often play on weekends, that could mean a lot of choice dates for concerts here.
“I don’t know how you guys feel,” Pistore said. “Going to a concert on Monday is great. Going to a concert on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday is way, way better. So we think we can capitalize on the busyness of Scotiabank.”"
