Your link is broken, but I can imagine what it is about. Sure sharing expenses between two artists on a stadium show is huge. The labor cost goes to nearly half for each show. As for GNR, the Cinci show may have been a break even, but thats what the promoter has to do to get the Chicago, New York, Boston and Toronto. It's cheaper to play a breakeven date than put everyone in hotels.

Was it a hotel? I thought it's entire history has been a restaurant and the owners residence? https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=389521457870043&id=385662388255950

They are averaging 4 shows a week. Every other day. There are most-likely two stadium setups, with the main production traveling with the band. The weekend focus is usually on the big markets where they can get away with multiple shows. http://www.pollstar.com/resultsArtist.aspx?ID=51552&SearchBy=guns%20n%20roses

It's not supposed to be but Ohio job and population growth is certainly not MASSIVE. I guess I should have made the little eye-roll guy more MASSIVE! LOL :roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll:

Kasich only seems "reasonable" in a room with Trump, Cruz and Huckabee. Outside of this, he is the GOP poster child. Tax breaks for corporate interests and "balancing" the budget by pushing down expenses to counties and cities. The flipside is we are living through a period of MASSIVE job growth and population influx thanks to these tax breaks! :roll:

^^supposedly there are are still quite a few cars littering the bottom outside that building. Have never dived down there to check myself....

Love the shots! Having grown up out on Lake Erie, it's hard to describe to people how different the city looks from out there, or even on the river. These do a good job with that!

So it is possible, in theory, that after 8 pm for instance, that one vendor crew is handling all the arrivals for Delta and United?

Getting rid of those horrible machines and replacing them with something modern and easy to use in an upright stance may increase ridership....

Keep the fire burning KJP. I'm not sure where it came from, but I saw a meme congratulating the 2016 Monsters, Cavs and Indians on World Championships, and the Browns for winning 4 games!

Right. Sort of. MLB started their own ticketing service. Tickets.com is owned by MLB and I believe all teams have finally made the switch to this platform. So these fees do go back into the league and the teams unlike concerts with Ticketmaster, where the fees go back to the band, the promoters and the venues.

I think this is something all of MLB needs to listen too. It's too complex now for casual fans who just want to show up and enjoy a game.

Take her to a few Wal Marts...

I was driving by Burke this morning and there is a city crew installing a "pen" of chain link fencing in the parking lot. Anyone know what this is about?

^^That is some fantastically weird Cleveland sports juju going on there! I hope to see the Giants in October!

Does it make us look good? Yeah. I was worried at first, but Cleveland wasn't used as a punching bag. At one point, Dory (voiced by Ellen DeGeneres) says "I've heard good things about Cleveland". The undertone was definitely that the fish were being sent to a "less glamorous" place.... Disagree. I didn't get that undertone at all. The octopus just wanted to go there to be left alone....where no one would bother him, far away from the crowds and glitz of Southern California. To me this was a little nod to flyover country.

I'll go along with this for now. But in the end, I'd like to see the final number that RTA moved that day. And I'd also like to hear what they actually did EXTRA to try to accommodate more passengers. When I hear that #55 buses were heading back to the garage empty at 9 am, you have to wonder.... So far we've gotten public statements about the lack of funding for transit, something we all are very aware of. Now let's hear the tales from RTA employees of what that day was like for them....

This is just a hunch, but by the looks of him and his photos, I'm guessing he plays the "ghetto photographer" role, knowing that mom and dad have a high-powered attorney on retainer.....

That 1982 team was amazing. Fond memories of my youth at the old stadium. I was a HUGE Mike Hargrove fan, even learning to bat left handed so I could attempt to properly replicate the human rain delay at my little league games (much to my coach's dismay).

RTA explained via Twitter that day that they ran 1 car trains to maximize frequency. If you want to know what RTA has to say about specific service issue, I recommend following their Twitter feed. You can even ask them questions. I get the frustration about parade day, but unless someone can point to operable equipment sitting idly in the yards on that day or other unambiguous operational mistakes, the complaining just seems like dead horse beating and maybe even yelling at clouds at this point. KJP has reported he saw empty CSU line buses headed for the yard. And you can be assured there were idle train cars...whether or not they were operational is another story. I can also personally report that RTA announced there would be staffers at Rapid stations selling all day passes and I never saw a single person except a Transit Cop who was beyond frustrated trying to help people.

I thought this was cool--always wanted to go down in the mine: http://www.businessinsider.com/photos-of-salt-mine-2000-feet-below-lake-erie-2016-5

Amen. It's the center of our city, our commerce, our transport. If you want tranquility, there's a nice splash pad at Crocker Park, along with some washed-up light rock bands.

All of this is ridiculous. Our civic leaders need to be lobby the feds and state for funding, so EVERYONE can ride. It's time to take some money from concrete and put it into our crumbling transit.
