Extra memorial events

Memorial Coliseum General Manager Randy Brown said he will have money in his 2009 budget to demolish the Wizards’ current facility on Coliseum Boulevard.

But that doesn’t mean it will be crushed to rubble as soon as the first pitch is thrown downtown. Brown said he is looking to get a few extra events in Memorial Stadium next summer, including a possible concert. He said the stadium will remain open through next spring in case the downtown stadium isn’t quite ready for opening day.

Brown said people should expect Memorial Stadium to fall in August or September 2009.

Comments

This whole project is:
1) a waste of taxpayer money
2) an illegal taking of taxpayer money
3) an obscene gesture towards the people of Fort Wayne, who voted this project down in more than one referrendum.
4) sickening/un-economical waste of resources
5) most importantly, just another breach of the covenant between the people of the United States and the government.

WELCOME TO USSR
Gov't Planning takes precedance over private projects and private rights of citizens.


Its a sad state of affairs when government rules over the people, rather than serving the people.

God save us.
