MSG has the NBA and NHL playing there (which represents ~ 80 nights per year) and on their off nights just throw in Billy Freaking Joel who the New Yorkers are senselessly infatuated with.  Perhaps Shad can reel in Paul McCartney full time to play in Wembley.

I realize what takes place at MSG. I also realize the potential for soccer, rugby, NFL football, and just about anything under the sun to register similar numbers at Wembley with exponentially more people in attendance for the more popular events. 

If MSG can gross 43 million in its last quarter reported, why can't Wembley aspire to something similar? 
It will take some transition time and some deal-making with various leagues, concert promoters and convention planners, but they could absolutely use MSG's wide-ranging and oft-booked model as a guide. 

Looking at the schedule - they already have lots going on in my opinion, just not frequently enough.
