An old boss used to say, "Never let perfect get in the way of better!" IMHO, the proposed retrofit of Church on the Square would have been better than the Savannah Center. Was it a perfect solution? No! And the residents would have had their regional rec center returned to them for its original purpose. As it turned out, we'll get nothing like PALMS in our lifetime. The Savannah Center was fine when TV was at 50-60K but we'll soon be over 100K. If the demand is really there Vesco may ultimately decide to schedule a show for four performances instead of two. Doesn't appear that Willie Nelson is selling out the house in April but that may stem from less demand after April 1st or as others have said, the cost of the tickets.
