True. They did advertise locally on the radio, and had a TV commercial. Maybe some of the event flyers in local business windows and stuff like that could have helped, who knows. I did hear that there were a ton of presold tickets, and at one point, there was talk that Carlton would have to get close to 5,000 spectators to break even. Carlton hung his azz out on the line to put this event on, and in some eyes it was a bomb, and in others it was a great success. But again, this is kind of trial by fire like I was talking to Bernie about. Similar to the opening of the new LH facility. It wasn't perfect on opening day, things still had to be figured out to get things running even smoother than what it was. Same goes for the Finals...The only way it will get better, and ensure coming back to the Midwest to a venue like this is to go back and revaluate what seemed to work and what didn't.
