Didn't that report that just came out say that there were only something like 4 events all year at FOC that required upper bowl seating to be used? The place is simply too big for most events going on there now. The roof also doesn't support many of the new shows going around (this is the same issue Calgary has). Not sure what people are thinking is going to skip on by if they don't have those extra 7,000 seats. Like I said in another thread on this topic, it's the mindset of not having that major league size (if not quality) arena that is going to be the fight. Having Copps makes people think Hamilton is a big league city and they don't want to lose that, even though they aren't really gaining any benefit from having the place either.
