[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 541048"] It is difficult to see how this would work on non-football weekends without a dome to support other major events. Even then, major event sponsors have many other options where the air travel and other local attractions are more compelling. I don't think you can just throw up some hotels, restaurants, clubs and casinos and expect an out-of-towner tourist destination to materialize. As far as local tourism and night-on-town traffic goes, there's not enough population to support a district of any scale. A modest development plan with a couple of hotels and other establishments would probably only serve to consolidate game-day visitors around the stadium instead of spread around the metro area. Even then, how do you make the investment in a hotel worthwhile the other 80% of the time? A smattering of Door County vacationers coming down for dinner and drinks only gets you so far. It would be interesting to see the business plan. [/QUOTE]
