MTSC and concerts

[warpigs2380]

Who is making the revenues off all the concerts that have been/are coming through the MTS Center?

True North Entertainment

if the revenues went to the jets (true north buying the jets) that would help tremendously

thats one of the key elements I've heard mentioned before. You would have to imagine any NHL team playing at the MTS Centre would be partially owned by True North, meaning arena revenue would go to the team, unlike with WEC

Think of all the revenue involved.... wow and the revenue from slots at MTS and a bar right beside could probably generate more than 10 million !!! that would be great and we could get in return more salary for players and a more competitive team or more superstars as you would like to say !!!

I think any revenue made from other events at the MTS Center (concerts, trade shows, etc) would not and should not be mixed in with any hockey revenue. I do agree though that any potential owner would either need to buy out the MTS Center or aquire a very large stake in it.
Also, I believe that a percentage of the profits earned from the slots at the United Tavern Powerhouse go towards either the arena or True North
