>>>or organize a Squid bashing rally. Fill the place at seven bucks a seat......<<< No, no, no. Wrong approach altogether. We have: The 80,300-seat stadium opened in 1975.... Here is the gig. You need $583K to cover your costs. You would like to make 100% for your efforts. So you would want to net out about $15 bucks per seat. $15 per seat!!!!!!! Unbelievable. So you get Al Gore, Jackson Browne, Sting, Bono, etc ad nauseum to do a live "Detroit Aid" concert. Charge $100 a head. Fly in Barbara Streisand to boot. Maybe Jerry Garcia as well ;-) Give half the gate to the "entertainers." The rest to the mayor. Blow town and let Detroit worry about demolishing the place. Here is some nice footage of Veteran's Stadium in Philadelphia getting nuked: youtube.com
