Now the Chicago show happening the Saturday after, this is where the chaos will truly begin! People who will want to eat Downtown will arrive earlier taking parking spots from people attending the show (who is selling very well btw). Plus theres a UFC event happening in Russia that day, so hardcore fans who want to see it live in the afternoon might head to the bar early.
It's good thing that T&T wrote that article, it could wake up City Counsil into thinking "oh man we are totally not ready for this", and maybe make some route/schedule change so the same article doesnt happens for Keith Urban (and pretty much every shows).

I doubt UFC in Russia will make much impact. Moncton doesnt have much in terms of a sportsbar/scene downtown. Hub sports is borderline but usually is dead. Has identity issues. Old triangle has 1 tiny tv. The gate has no tv's. Pumphouse doesnt show UFC. Places like Boston Pizza, Casino Pub or St Louis away from downtown have defaulted to sportsbars because there is no other choice. With big screen tvs cheaper than ever & costs to drink at a bar higher than ever Id say more people are gathering at someones house to watch big sporting events.
