This is exactly what I thought the biggest challenge would be, keeping enough things booked.

In my youth, most cities had an "Auditorium" and that's where events were held. Most of them are gone or in extreme decay because of low utilization.

I love going to the Colonial. I'm just not convinced it will be a commercial success over time.
