Venuetix/Weslo possible buyer of Dome

Kent, that's exactly my point. You would think that the government had given up on its rights to restrict the use of the Dome when it gave up on its funding. You would think the only reason the government had to restrict the use of the Dome was because it was contributing to it. This contribution evened out some of the revenue lost by not hosting other events. What is the government giving back in lieu of what it has taken away?

Isaac, just like my corner deli and the one on the opposite corner. No one can tell me not to sell something because its in conflict with what the other deli is selling (hypothetical). The Dome and the Entertainment Centres are both entertainment centres, the only difference is the government has decided that one can host any form of entertainment it wants and the other, sports only. My deli wouldn't do too well if I could only sell bread and milk while the other had a whole range of goods. Its hardly a fair situation. Doesn't it come under Restraint of Trade?

I don't think Venuetix/Weslo would be interested in the Dome if these restrictions were not lifted. As far as I'm concerned, the Government should have given up on the restrictions when it gave up funding it and selling it to a private buyer. How can the private owner of the Dome be in competition with the government controlled Entertainment Centre. Its like saying that I can't sell confectionery in my corner deli because its in conflict with the deli on the opposite corner that sells chocolate. If the Dome is a suitable venue for a multitude of different events, it should be allowed to host them.

Sorry, what are the restrictions? eg basketball only?
