I've never seen a list of events above 6500. I'm there lots of times per year for various events, and my experience is that it is mostly the intermittent special events that go above that capacity - Volleyball Nations League, World Juniors, Davis Cup. For concerts and things like the comedy shows, I think the capacity of the current Lansdowne is close to that number anyway, so they may actually gain capacity for the new rink.

One aspect that has not been discussed is the availability of boxes and fan deck type areas. Those are big revenue generators and the current arena has none of those (at least no functional ones). The new arena will have more revenue streams which I assume will be more revenue per fan.

There was this render which show some kind of 'exlusive' area maybe, but yeah, haven't seen 'boxes'.
