The consensus is that we don't want to do it; we don't want to leave Pueblo. We've had record attendance in Pueblo the last two years. But enough people have real concerns about the hotel industry down there, so much so that they said we should start looking elsewhere. |
This arena fits with everything we are trying to do. You can put 4,000 people in here and the atmosphere is great. That's something you don't get in the Pepsi Center and I think that's an important point. |
We had some fans claim that they can get a cheaper rate during the State Fair than during state basketball. (CHSAA) thought the problem had been taken care of; then I went to an outreach meeting with some of the small outlying schools and they asked about it again. |
We have no intention of returning to the Pepsi Center. And we've told the Pepsi Center people that. |
We'll sit down with our schools and gather data and see what their response is. But I expect it to be positive this year. |
