![]() wrote in message oups.com... 1. Have you seen those ticket prices? You could have learned to fly for less! Free listening on a blanket in the park. That's for moochers. 2. Jets didn't land at Meigs. The folks who flew out of Meigs were specifically NOT jet-setters. Others have reputed this. Few jets could use Meigs, the runway was only 3899' long and runway 18 had a displaced threshold leaving only 3350' available for landing traffic. 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. GA capacity in the CGX area has been zero since CGX was closed. How many jobs have they created at the concert arena? The usual arena type: vending, ushers, stage, etc. How does that compare with the jobs lost by the closure of CGX? 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. The revenues from Clear Channel will find their way to Daley's pocket. The taxpayers lost an asset when Meigs was closed, they didn't need another park. Congratulations! Its a great addition, air pollution will be reduced as people don't need to drive to remote concert sheds. It's a loss. Parks were surplus in Chicago, they're short on airports. |
