This is a perfect idea for the downtown area and for Wilmington. Sign me up for season tickets now!!!!! Hey I'm a taxpayer too and I see an importance for developing a new draw to the Wilmington area. Do people actually think we can fill this convention center with out of towners strictly by being a beach town?? Give the city something to make money for the dowtown area and maybe our budgets won't be in the toilet every July. And raising taxes to make up the difference. I agree! Wilmington be PRO-ACTIVE. Please don't pass on this opportunity!
