I completely agree with the comment that Roller Derby would fit in
with Asbury Park becasue it is funky. I think that is exactly the
kind of thing that AP should be looking for. While I have never been
to a match, I sure would try it. Back to basketball, it seems like
several teams in the past once thought Convention Hall would be a
good home court. The only think missing then was a renovation and
people. I am hoping both are going to be here very soon. I hope
some of the team owners are watching and still interested...
