Sure, but they can't force someone not to build another arena. I mean, they are powerful but they're not THAT powerful. I suspect it is more a happy coincidence for MLSE that it worked out that way.
It's easy to imagine situations where a second arena might have gone up... had the WHA taken root and lasted a few more years maybe the Toros would have built an arena somewhere in the 'burbs back in the late 70s. Or had MLG not purchased the Raptors there could have been two arenas downtown, which nearly happened.
