Although an alterior motive exsisted I never thought Hamilton
would ever materialize. All things are possible because of Hamilton.
The question should be " Do we need more frontons in the
U.S.? Well given all the variables let's take the baby step approach.
The exsisting frontons need to become successful enough to deem
any expansion of the sport. The current frontons need to remodel
and or convert to multi entertainment facilities. I guess if a
new fronton was in someones thoughts they should consider using
it more for other purposes then jai-alai. It doesn't have to include
casino style games but more a full entertainment complex. The
fronton could twin or include a civic center for concerts and/or
an IMAX type of theater. Another way to generate additional revenue
is to attach a national chain style restaurant. Everthing can
be centered around jai-alai but revenue will be generated by having
addtional resources. The day's of seeing a new fronton succeed
on its own are over. The full entertainment facilities would surely
capture new fans out of curiosity.
