Exactly, OVG feels like they can bring in a ton more concerts that can't get time in Toronto and don't seem to care if they push out 40 or so nights of 4000 attendance hockey to make that space available. It will be interesting to see if they carve into or replace London as the "third market" that often seems to happen as tours go through Ontario. They would be competing with themselves but with double the seats at their new toy in Hamilton, I can see London losing some shows.

Of course, maybe they have enough success in Hamilton that it shows Toronto needs a second arena (which many have been saying for a while now already), and I think that would be a jewel in Tim Leiweke's crown. MLSE has some potentially troubling ownership issues coming down the pike and who knows how that might shake out. But I digress lol.
