Is it just me or should the size of the arena been factored before going through all that they did?

I'm guessing they didn't think/know that indy and San Antonio were going to bid

Great... just effing GREAT... (stomps feet and throws colored rings to floor) ;D
In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

Sure we can't compete with the massive domes, but do you think those will be anywhere near full? At least witha  Cozy 11 or 12 k sized venue you would get better atmosphere.

I am sure 2016 will basically be a trial run for these size venues.

if they can sell 15,000 tickets than a 12,000 seat arena doesn't work....in the end, it's all about $
