I need a job like this. Get pushed out and get a big golden parachute, then get back in 2 years later.

Interesting that he's going to the Dome after multiple previous concerts at Busch.
Maybe he thinks he can sell 10+K tickets? not sure.dweebe wrote: ↑4:16 PM - 1 day agoInteresting that he's going to the Dome after multiple previous concerts at Busch.
In a related note, I attended the AC/DC show and, transparently, was pleased with how the space is holding up and how well it worked for a concert. I was prepared to be annoyed and all of that.
Now, WTH are we gonna do long term with the dome part? Even without an NFL team, it's an asset worthy of $$ upkeep but...how much? and when is it too old. I don't have good answers.
In the long term, St. Louis needs another NFL team, or else it just won’t make sense to maintain the dome. At a certain point, it just won’t be economical to put money into it to host only a few concerts and major events a year.soulardx wrote:Maybe he thinks he can sell 10+K tickets? not sure.dweebe wrote: ↑4:16 PM - 1 day agoInteresting that he's going to the Dome after multiple previous concerts at Busch.

I cant really disagree but without the dome, could STL ever get shows/concerts that would want need a large venue?STLcommenter wrote: ↑4:39 PM - 1 day agoIn the long term, St. Louis needs another NFL team, or else it just won’t make sense to maintain the dome.

I feel like they can get creative with it for sure. I think we should work to keep it in a state that it keeps attracting events. Getting things like a yearly college football bowl game, a yearly Tigers game, and maybe even hosting high school football could be ways to get use out of the building, but we would have to go out and advocate for that and work for it. Large scale soccer could also be an event. The Cardinals host a bunch of high school baseball games every season, for example, and have done soccer in the past.
Obviously there are certain events that we simply wouldn't get without it, like large concerts, monster trucks, and weird one-off events like the Catholic religious event happening next week. The whole reason that's happening here and bringing 70,000+ people to STL is because we have a large enough indoor stadium.
I think it's more than worth to spend money to keep the Dome viable as a host to large events, even if they don't happen as frequently as our other stadiums. The point of the Dome is not to make money in and of itself, the point is to bring in tourists who stay in downtown hotels and guests who will frequent downtown business.
They're also still leaving money on the table by not selling advertising on the building up to and including the naming rights. I refuse to believe they are unable to sell all the advertising they had in the Rams-era. It's insane how bare the building looks from I-44. Theyre obviously not gonna make NFL money on it, but theyre still leaving money on the table.
