It's good that they want to "finish the job", but the specter of
them "fixing" CH's acoustics is a little concerning. I was under the
understanding that they were rebuilding the Casino's western portion.
Since the entire structure was demolished, and any historic
significance along with it, shouldn't they rebuild it in such a way
as to be able to hold these sorts of concerts? From what I can
recall, CH was never built for these heavily amplified concerts and
the noise (going back to the 50s) has done a hatchet job on the
plaster, moldings and beams.
Why not reinforce the Casino to withstand the noise from loud rock
(and metal and hip hop) concerts and use Convention Hall for, I don't
know, conventions?
(P.S. This wouldn't be the same as moving the Pony to the Casino.
That's a nightclub, not an arena, and it should remain where it is.)
