Demolishing it would be a huge mistake

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.

This would be a quick way to lose my support. I know it doesn't really matter
