80/20 rule applies!cwallace wrote:I should clarify my stance on these 'projects'...it isn't that I am AGAINST growth and progress and giving the people things to do, but the projects that they have slated and are now in the works do NOT fit what this town needs...
If this town could sustain a venue like that then why are there not private developers lining up to make it happen...
The best approach to this would have been to offer up 120 million dollars in tax incentives to encourage PRIVATE companies to invest their money into this town.
We are loosing industry at record pace...we can't even get long standing companies to grow and expand in town. We are loosing them not only to larger more developed cities, but even to the 'outskirts' of town.
Sweetwater...why are they not moving TOWARDS the town and taking advantage of acre upon acre of unused land WITHIN the city? Why are they heading out into the sticks? We should have given them anything and EVERYTHING they wanted in order to KEEP them in this town...yeah they are just down the road, but it is only a small example of how even locally owned and operated businesses are flocking OUT of the grasp of the city...a city that seems to only concern itself with lining the pockets of the politicians that run it...it isn't about the people...it is about a few councilmen being able to flip property on YOUR dime...
Yes a stadium is a great 'idea', but when it was brought to the city as an INDOOR venue that would be much larger than the coliseum and host the komets and MANY great concerts that even the expanded coliseum can't provide us it was 'shunned' by this town...now however the town (the city council elect) has managed to find a way to use our TAX money to build something that nobody seems to want...
So to state fact...I am all about progress. As long as the progress is THOUGHT THROUGH and done WITHOUT ulterior motives as this 'project' has the stink of...
Bring in PRIVATE businesses that involve the company living up to some level of MERIT and not a guaranteed paycheck because they know someone who landed them a job...need I mention Randy Brown...someone who needs ONLY to keep status quo and filter money out to the right people...

I think that's the one that states 20% of the "x" accounts for 80% of the "y". So, 20% of the businesses in town create 80% of the revenue or whatnot...so you keep that 20% happy because they do the majority of whatever...
I know in the insurance industry, we do as much as we can to keep the top 20% of policy sellers happy, because they do 80% of our business...

You answered it right there Ollie: SUMMERfest. I'll stand out in the warm July rain all day to catch a good show but I can't recall a MID-FEBUARYfest that brought them in by the droves. It's limiting from the get-go, that's all I'm sayin...Oliver's Army wrote:Anyone whos been to Summerfest knows the success of an outdoor venue is not about the weather.

Let me explain.
For year round concerts we have the Embassy, the Coliseum, The coliseum Expo, Scottish Rite etc etc
Th Foellinger has restrictions placed on it by it because of noise so effectively a *real* concert is never going to happen there.
An outdoor theatre, not unlike most cities theatres, is about an 'event' atmosphere.
YES I understand that cold weather is going to shut it down. Yes I understand that it exposed to the elements.
What it seems people are not getting is that in cities that have a vibrant downtown, an outdoor theatre is a *part* of a larger picture to encourage people to come.
This is a multi purpose use facility.
What if every Friday night local bands played showcases?
What if every ethnic group used it for its type of music?
Plays?
exhibitions?
Whatever the hell you want it for.
This is not going to pull in a (insert your favorite huge touring band here) every week, but it sure can be used for other "music" events
Its never going to be the Coliseum, but it is certainly WAY less expensive that building another enclosed venue.
Look at most Metro cities. Almost all of them have a venue just like this.
Somewhere in size between the Coliseum and Columbia Street there has got to be a place that draws people downtown, is affordable and multi-purposed.
