So why Metro Park?

This event brought people into the city, their city. And it made them want to stay.

Here is Halestorm





There is a Facebook group called Save Rockville ! Dedicated to fighting those on the city council who want to stop these events.  Find us and join up.

For those of you who are on the fence, remember that these shows bring people from all over the world.

I checked in VIP's from several states as well as Germany, Sweden, Finland, Belgium and New Zealand.  The downtown hotels were full.

There were also some owners of professional sports teams and Las Vegas hotels who came for this event.

These are the kind of people we need to come visit Jacksonville.

Many people, including myself depend on these events as part of their income and the city can always use an influx of out of state dollars.

The opposition to ticketed events in Met Park is well-funded and well organized. They are the same backwards thinkers who spent over $50,000.00 and sued the city to stop the amphitheater from being built.

There is a city council meeting on May 14th. Please come out and speak in support of outdoor music at Metropolitan Park.

If you can't come out, call or email your city council members.  I can post the contact info for the members of the ad hoc committee here if you need it.
