There would be millions a year in doing that. Just my opinion.
I think I posted this before, but you're absolutely right about the winter classic stuff. Right now, if Ontario gets one, it goes down the street to the new digs in Hamilton. I can see Lieweke thinking "over my dead body". It's outdoors, and it has the capacity.

I also wonder if some of this years relentless ticket drive, and repeated calls to previous ST/package holders, (myself included) was an attempt to gauge how close they could come to filling 30k. They wouldn't get close on a regular basis right now, but if even 5-7k said they were thinking of coming back, it would sure make adding seats viable, wouldn't it?
