Yeah daily attendance was down 22%. That's always good for business and proof that the place is comfortable.

Ron Geary has made significant improvements to the backside and adding the tent for the claiming crown and leaving it up was a good idea.

The ventilation in that place is horrible and it's unfair to non-smokers.
