The link says a minimum of 4000 patrons.  I am going to assume the maximum is going to be only slightly more.

There are many problems with the War Memorial but the biggest are seating capacity and the lack of private boxes.  I don't see this facility addressing either of these problems and the relatively bad location makes it even harder to see a hockey team moving here.

Isn't the state already committed to building a new facility for hosting horse shows at the fairgrounds?  That was, I believe, supposed to hold around 2000 people.  The county already has a facility at OCC that is a direct competitor to the county convention center next to the War Memorial.  And now the state is going to build another competing facility at the fairgrounds?

And there remains a need to build a 10-15K facility to host hockey, concerts requiring > 5 k not held during the summer, etc. remains.

Has an area ever spent so much money so unwisely as CNY?  Unbelievable.
