Greg Brady(@gregbradyx):Hamilton gets another huge show Toronto doesn’t. This is about the 4th time this has happened since TD Coliseum reopened as a state-of-the-art arena. It happened with Journey just a few months ago, also. It’s very interesting - Copps Coliseum late 80s/early 90s definitely drew shows away from Maple Leaf Gardens (this is even pre-Molson Amphitheatre (opened 1995). But Scotiabank Arena is still top-notch & fantastic. I’ll ask people in the concert promotion business but it’s very interesting. I don’t think it’s a “Toronto decline” thing but something’s up.
