I don't like how Paulson is trying to pressure us into destroying the MC or else.... I think that alone is reason enough not to do it. But the arguments in favor of keeping the MC are pretty funny. Sustainable best practices? WTF does that even mean? How about "where are the Winterhawks going to go?" or "what about the concerts that won't be booked becuase of conflicts with the Rose Garden..."
Bottom line, it seems the MC still has some merit, just needs a bit of upkeep and perhaps better management. And it can always remind us to recall that time when boring glass boxes were all the rage.....
Demondog. Good point. I put what you said in my handout for the Commissioners and listed many uses that needed homes. Here is the preliminary list I compiled:
Current Events at Memorial Coliseum (usable all seasons)
ice hockey (winterhawks)
high school graduations
grand floral parade
high school basketball tournaments
state dance contests
childrenβs events
ice capades
music concerts
political rallies
tennis tournaments - davis cup
future tournaments and events that a creative manager could imagine
Team Philistines (Sam-Randy soulmate buddies): 0
