    The overheads playing at the ACC were immense, and Coca-Cola Coliseum wasn't an option for whatever reason.

    Great to see Smith signed! And yes overhead and last pick for dates prompted the move from ACC. They're getting great crowds with lots of energy now, too bad the renos will have them move again temporarily.

    The cost to play of of Coca Cola is also really expensive. Building is owned by the City of Toronto but operated by MLSE. They must use IATSE and unionized workers at Coca Cola thus putting on events at that venue has always been costly. One of the main reasons you don't see it used for Concerts as much as it should.

    WWE does non televised shows at Coca Cola. Maybe the unionized workers cost more, but that doesn’t mean the rent for the building is as high. They obviously weigh the pros and cons and decided the pros out weigh the cons.
    It's us vs the rest of the country
