Make the admission reasonable priced. Do the math, 2000 at $10 is better than 100 at $20
Correct.

Also some food for thought in this economy FREE Entertainment for your family, wife , kids, etc is priceless.

As a father if I cannot afford say $100 for a weekend out with my family, I can for FREE however with just the Gas to get there. What I saw were both more women than usual and more kids.

And they pounded the radio here, abosulutley pounded it, everytime you walked out of summit they gave you free tickets.

I love Norwalk, I think its a great facility, well kept, and the employees are plentiful and helpful. I dont have much refrence, but Id Take Norwalk over Vegas. Certainly over Indy and Atlanta, Just my 2 cents...
