Here's more evidence that there will be a strong demand for the Marine Stadium by concert promoters. It is ironic that although some have considered the Stadium a "white elephant", we have been told repeatedly by promoters that changing economic realities in the entertainment industry are now perfectly attuned to the Marine Stadium. With 6,500 seats, the Stadium is a mid-sized arena, the most desirable size. 1,000-2,000 seat venues are too small; only a few artists can fill larger facilities (ie. 18,000 seat arenas).
