Re: New Arena for Sioux Falls
I no longer live in Sioux Falls so it doesn't mean as much to me as to those in SD who attend many sporting/concerts and other events. I do know however what the Van Andel Arena has meant to the city of Grand Rapids. It was built right in the heart of the downtown area and has been a tremendous asset to the community. I also realize the population base in W. Michigan is considerably larger which allows for the arena to be in use constantly. Yet if SF were to build an arena/events center (in downtown SF) it would revitalize the area. Just going on memory Sioux Falls would have to considerably improve the overall transportation convenience to the downtown area. The whole economic climate right now has to have everyone concerned when considering these types of expenditures.
