I would say that a good concert& sports venue is one of those "bones" that needs to be addressed. Just look at how many bands pass us by because the Aud is either not big enough or does not have modern rigging. and how much more popular with the Kitchener Rangers be with a 15,000-seat arena instead of one not even half that size?
I'd rather have private industry build an arena in a desirable area instead of the public paying for an arena to try and make an area desirable. We've seen it go wrong so many times.
