I haven't been to a Growlers game but my son and I have gone to a few Edge games. I found it to be very entertaining and very kid friendly. Hopefully something can be worked out here. With every sports team we loose it becomes increasing difficult to attract another.

Someone on the CBC comments page, mentioned that most sports arenas in major Canadian cities, have corporate sponsorship. This includes Halifax's arena which is sponsored by Scotiabank. Maybe it's time for an oil company to step up and put their name on it.
