Have you seen those ticket prices? You could have learned to fly for less! Free listening on a blanket in the park. 2. Jets didn't land at Meigs. The folks who flew out of Meigs were specifically NOT jet-setters. Others have reputed this. 3. Single Engine Prop planes make substantially less noise than most of the bands listed [Black Eyed Peas, for example] The arena speakers face outwards, towards the lake. 4. Companies like Clear Channel and TicketMaster will give back much more to the local community than the aviation businesses based at Meigs? AV moved to MDW, a great savings due to economies of scale: fuel, mech, fire etc. already there. BooKoo GA capacity in CGX area. How many jobs have they created at the concert arena? The usual arena type: vending, ushers, stage, etc. The common taxpayer was swindled into subsidizing another Media Conglomerate winfall project... The revenues from Clear Channel will fund future park facilities on NORTHERLY ISLAND. No mooching from taxpayers. Congratulations! Its a great addition, air pollution will be reduced as people don't need to drive to remote concert sheds. JG |
