“We’re very pleased how things have gone. People are excited about the new arena opening and are not only coming out to support special events, but the Toledo Walleye,” said Steve Miller, SMG general manager, in a news release.
The Toledo Walleye take the ice again Feb. 12 at 7 p.m. versus the Cincinnati Cyclones. The next special event at the arena will be Freestyle Motocross: Gravity Slashers, on Feb. 19 and Feb. 20 at 7:30 p.m.

250,000 people attended events, all with tax payer monies being used to bring the people in.
Bad idea, to use tax payer monies?
Would the existing, at the time, city center had any attraction that 250,000 would show up for?
