Hinge, But places like the Starland Ballroom have done incredible in today's market. Convention Hall and Starland aren't too far apart in size. The difference is that one has got state of the art equipment and the other is falling apart. On Apr 6, 2007, at 1:51 PM, Hinge wrote:

All I know is that the State Theatre in New Brunswick seems to do very well with each of their shows as well. Many other venues the same size as the Paramount are doing well in Jersey. Convention Hall might be a bit harder, but if someone knew what they were doing they could make it

No, I wasn't saying Tony P could bring them to Convention Hall (you're right, he doesn't have to and loses out by doing so) I was saying that if bands are willing to go from a 15,000 venue to a 2,500 venue then there apparently is a market for places like Convention Hall if done right.
