Demolishing it would be a huge mistake

It needs to be renovated but that would cost hundreds of millions

It would be a travesty, a huge mistake to tear it down.

I mean it’s a 45 yr old building. It’s not that historical.

AH has fantastic acoustics. It would be a big mistake to tear it down.

I don’t have much attachment to AH. But razing a beloved cultural center

There’s a huge difference between LES and Abravanel Hall
