we will wait a couple of weeks until the "gotta get there" crowd passes.
I am interested to see how the stadium seating will work to view the entertainment in the square. It will bring with it a whole new set of problems (in addition to seat saving) there will be the issue of having to get up whenever someone wants to get in/out like a movie theatre, etc.
Maybe there is only partial stadium setting and more grab a chair like the other two squares.

I think Brownwood will be interesting because it is different. My guess is it will be bigger than Spanish Springs and smaller than Lake Sumter Landing.

Some of the bigger retailers/restaurants will have a presence, but most of the shops located in SS and LSL will not be there. So we shall see what kind of retail shops wind up being there.

What we know for sure is that it will relieve the crowding of the two existing town centers. Remember when the Publix store on 466A first opened? You could go there anytime of day/night and have lottsa elbow room. Now it is crowded anytime you go just like the other locations.

So unless there is something really new and unique the new town center will settle into being frequented mostly by the residents who live closest.

Being a cowboy aficianado, I am looking forward to the western theme.
