I understand your point. I think Dodge would be hard pressed finding a promoter to bring a big name artist to entertain us, even with 4,300 seats plus additional move in seating. That's not really very many seats. Big names sell 20,000-50,000 seats in no time. And they do that on week-ends in large cities. Dodge City will always bring in older acts or new acts that have yet to be proven. Neil McCoy will be at this years Dodge City Days concert. Will the Arena be full or close to it?
Global will have their hands full filling that SEC. Global will get paid one way or another. If the SEC is ever built!
