Not very many people want to see the kind of concerts that will come to the civic center. | My main complaint about the CC, is those damn uncomfortable new seats we have!! They suck!! Quote:

They come here and pffffffffft, very few people came. The MMA and UFC is a very hot thing now nationwide...just not in Dodge. They said they would probably never come back. Maybe we could get cow tipping or something.... | They failed for one very BIG reason, NO PROMOTING!! You have to advertise, or let people know about the event, if you are going to have any customers!!  |
