I wouldn't expect the Sea Bears to leave CLC even if this new arena gets built. Downtown is a great location for them.

I'm curious if a smaller arena could unlock a different tier of concerts. Right now our concert venues jump in capacity from 1,600 at Burton Cummings up to 16,000 at CLC. There's an entire tier of artists that are too big for the Burt but too small for CLC. (there's also the concert hall at 2,300 but not an ideal spot for lots of bands)

You couldn't validate an entire arena just based on these shows but it would help fill out a calendar. I imagine this is largely what True North would take issue with though. I'm sure they'd rather undersell their own arena than watch shows go elsewhere.
