I think some of this is curiosity about our new arena. There were also been a lot of out of province people who came to the UFC event the other night too.
It goes both ways...........

Mooseheads fans went to Moncton because the Mooseheads were on an unprecedented 15 game road trip due to construction at the Scotiabank Centre. The Moose just had it's home opener on Saturday with 10,000 in attendance.
There will always be plates from Nova Scotia and P.E.I. in Moncton because Amherst, NS and P.E.I. are close to Moncton.
Last time I checked there was a Bass Pro/Cabela's in Halifax, multiple Costco's and several shopping malls. I honestly do not know anyone from Halifax that travel to Moncton to shop.
I think half of Moncton and P.E.I. are probably at IKEA every weekend though based on the license plates in that parking lot.
So it doesn't really go both ways on the same scale.........
