Am I the only one or does anyone else think Memorial Hall is a terrible venue for staged events? It obviously was designed for basketball games – when was the last basketball game played there? Rather than putting lipstick on a pig why don’t we consider building a new hall with proper acoustics, lighting and comfortable seating? At least explore the site as a convention center for those who have been calling for that. The millions of dollars cost that has been tossed around could be better spent.
Since the hall is a memorial site, the commemorated items could be displayed at a new venue. Just a thought.
