Downtown Terre Haute Your Time Has Arrived

Good information. Evansville got a helluva deal then. That's pretty rich compared to other recent and similar stadium/arena naming rights deals.

Compare the population of TH to Eville as well as number of businesses etc. I think to difference is self explanatory.

Excellent Point! Far too many people lose sight of the basic differences between Terre Haute & Indianapolis or Ft Wayne or Evansville, the Region, etc

With UE Basketball attendance hovering around 3k per game, I wouldn't bet on seeing anymore than 1/3 of that value when the next contract talks surface. Didn't the UE Women move their games to a revamped facility next to Carson Center? Also must consider declining "small town" pro ice hockey attendance. Bottom line is that E-ville leaders anticipated HIGHER UE attendance/revenue than what has actually occurred (35%+ higher?), so I don't see how they'll even get close to equaling the $5m in the 1st contract.

Ya, they (?) say they'll make more $$$ off of "concerts," as if the tickets are $5.00 Roberts Stadium Led Zeppelin dayz...shows how delusional people can get on OPIOIDS v. MARIJUANA.
