An arena has other uses than hockey. Sasktel Centre being the size it is has its benefits. It helps convince tours and other shows to have a Saskatchewan stop rather than be a fly over province. It allows Saskatoon to feasibly host larger events that otherwise only go to NHL markets. The city has proven that an arena this size suits its needs well.
