SEC and Convention centers are two seperate things. The powers that be are trying to turn the Special Event Center into a Convention center. A Convention center will not work. Everybody needs to go back and remember the Special Event Center as it was advertised on TV before the election. It was a 7500+ seat arena that would be better able to have the Dodge City Legend games and bring in other events that promoters will bring in if you have the seats to sell. Promoters won't bring in concerts and such now because it's not worth the trouble for the return on the dollar. Garden City, Liberal, Great Bend Hays or Pratt don't have any facilities to host the kind of events that a SEC could bring.
Can you say Arena Football, or maybe a hockey team, Ice Capades, Hispanic Concerts for our majority hispanic population.....the possibilities are great.
