I'm sure a lot of acts won't want to split the two markets back to back, as Cain's and the Brady do depend a lot on the OKC market for sales.
Good point. I have seen several bands who come through and play the Diamond on one leg and then the Cain's on another leg of the same tour. I could see more of that happening with The Chevy depending on the promotion.
