When Copps was first built, the colours of the seating were celebrated as "looking full even if they're not"... I don't think that opinion aged well.

For most concerts, the arena will be fairly dark. So who cares about grey seat colour. :cool:

I'm excited to check this place out. I just got tickets to MGK in December. I went to my very first concert here in 2004, Hilary Duff. I'm sitting in almost the exact same seats for MGK.

Dating myself here, but I went to the very first concert at Copps Coliseum after it was built... and also went to auto shows, and hockey games, in the latter 1980s
 
Are they still going to paint the underside of the seating green like in the picture? The picture makes it almost look uplit or that it glows in the dark lol
 
More big (for Hamilton) acts announced recently:
Machine Gun Kelly
Cardi B
The Jonas Brothers

There's no denying the influence these renovations are having on event booking

I see Cardi B doing Scotiabank Arena the day before, so hopefully that happens over and over (well with acts that span the musical spectrum)

Cardi is currently pregnant and due a month before her show here. Surprised if either go forward.

I don't think it's the renovations itself (doubt artists care that much about it), but more the group that's taken it over and trying to make it an events destination.
The renovations are to ensure the fan experience is optimal, which will help generate future visits.

They're not f*cking around when they stated their intent. It's not even opened yet and they've got more non-sports bookings that I've seen in a while.

Personally, I prefer a more intimate venue for concerts around the size of Massey Hall or Hamilton Place (or smaller). Of course, the artists I enjoy don't play bigger venues like arenas anyways.
There's nothing that's scheduled so far that I have any remote interest in seeing. But I'm not their target audience, so it doesn't matter. Plenty of people are interested.

Very promising signs so far. I hope the interior renovation really makes the experience that much better.

Good points. It will also hopefully be a big influence on local businesses. George Hamilton brewery, which I admit I never had the chance to venture to and have no idea if it was just barely clinging on anyhow, referenced the closure of the arena as a reason for business going down the drain. Good signs so far with is. I mean you wouldnt make basically a 300 million investment if you weren't pretty sure it had merit

Hopefully this bodes well for something opening on that site. Unless it's already been sold (with the lot behind) for an eventual new building when the market turns again.

There’s a precon for the site filed, but something in the meantime might come by.

The Scotiabank Arena show is not sold out and still has a good number of tickets available, so I am a bit surprised that they added the Hamilton show one night later.
