By building the Signa on the old PamAm plaza the city has eliminated a great place for these type of events.
Agreed!
The Pan Am Plaza was a great place for public gatherings of all types.
Another wide open space in that vicinity is needed,
Can the IBJ investigate how the NFL is coming to its Draft attendance numbers? Since the NFL started moving the event around like a marque event, its attendance numbers have seemed highly inflated.
Supposedly, more than 200,000 people crammed into a parking lot next to Lambeau Field to watch the 1st round of the Draft in Green Bay. The parking lot was packed, but measuring liberally, the lot was only 8.5 acres. With the same density as the Snakepit, we would expect 100k people. Not 200k.
I find it really hard to believe that the NFL Draft in Green Bay managed to pack a 8.5 acre lot with twice as many people per unit of area as the Snakepit. Similar story for reported attendance numbers in Detroit, Kansas City, Nashville, and etc.
The Snake Pit doesn’t hold anywhere near 100,000. Maybe 30,000 tops and that’s a stretch.
Pretty sure they were comparing the density relative to the size of the two venues. Anyway who’s been to the snake pit knows that place is jam packed.
