Is there even going to be an upper deck concourse as part of this $300 million renovation because looking at the pics, it's certainly doesn't appear there will be one.
At minimum, they had better be drawing annual concert attendance numbers similar to Edmonton, if not comparable to the next tier up - Vancouver. Otherwise, I don't see how they justify the costs without a major league tennant. Lacrosse and AHL hockey don't justify it with their crowds and gate revenue.
It's going to be an uphill battle with Toronto already having their arena and an amphitheatre which draws concerts 7 months of the year. Then again, the Golden Horseshoe has 8 - 9 million people so perhaps there is a chance this investment pays off.
