There are certain events that would never consider going down there. You want an example? You can write off anything ag related. Also, you posted earlier how great the downtown campus is. Do a survey of student opinion and then tell me how great it is. My whole intent was to say what's good for the dome is good for the university. I had no intention of getting into a city politics debate.
Accessibility, parking, hotels and convenience are huge when determining conventions and trade shows. Ive been to some trade shows at downtown venues as a vendor and a customer and it really sucks. If you want trendy its not far to get to downtown or 13th ave areas.

It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.
