Yeah, i noticed the number disparity. If ADF wants 2,000, why is 4,000 even 
being mentioned?  (Yeah, yeah, i know--CC wants it.)
-----Original Message-----



the thing i don't understand about that argument is that ADF requires a 2,000 
person performance space [insert joke about number of americans likely to 
watch modern dance], and the proposed event center will be a 4,000 person 
performance space CONVERTIBLE to a 2,000 person performance space.  ass-to-
elbow, anyone?

But there isn't really a venue of that size.  That's
why they want to do it.  Page seats what, 1300? The
new memorial in Chapel Hill will seat about 1200. 
Carmichael (a venue in which no riggers will work
anymore) seats 10,000 and they get bigger.  how big is
Disco Rodeo?  That's a terrible performance space.

It's not the size that bothers me.  I'd love to see a
4,000 seat venue.  Just not operated by CC.
