Bon Jovi performed at Mosaic Stadium to about 30,000 fans, about a third of them from out-of-town.

That translates into demand for hotel rooms and meals.

"Certainly the Warehouse District and Regina will have packed hotels and packed pubs," David Froh, chairman of the Regina Warehouse Business Improvement District, told CBC News.

The district noted for its many nightclubs is just a few blocks from the stadium.

"I think it's also important to remember that people that come to see the concert … they'll come back to Regina," Froh added. "They'll come back to the district. They'll visit the boutiques. Maybe they'll buy a house in the district or Regina."

The so-called local spinoff is estimated in the millions.

"[Calculating] the economic impact of this concert alone is going to be tough," said Grant Langford, a spokesman for the Regina Regional Opportunities Commission.

"I know when the Rolling Stones were here years ago the economic impact of the two shows was around the $15 million range. So we'll have to wait and see what the final totals roll in. But it's huge."
