Canada Life Place (formerly Budweiser Gardens)

I don't know how much seating they gain with filling in the west end of the upper level but I think it's closer to a 1000 than a few thousand. (the lower level is at least 2/3 of capacity, so the upper level now only seats 2500-3000). I don't know if that also comes at the expense of the standing room currently at the west end, so maybe a net gain of 800 or so. And that is only for hockey as those seats won't be used for concerts, other than the rare "in the round" show. I'm not sure what it would cost to do that, but 1000 new seats probably only generates $750k in Knights sales and then maybe $60k-70k per show that uses them. Would the Knights pay more in rent to justify the construction cost of that to only hopefully gain another 1000 seats a game? I think to boost this place to 12k+ is a major construction project that would cost more than this $33million would, if it's even really possible at all.
