because I'm nobody, but there is no excuse for tearing down AH. It is world class, and we are lucky to have it for the Utah Symphony, as well as plenty of youth groups that get to perform there as I did.

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

They aren't putting the arena there. They aren't even building a new arena.

I've performed there. If it needs to go then it needs to go.

Just because it can be replaced doesn’t mean it should be replaced

Magathis

Why?

shakarocks

Because it's still a wonderful place. Let it become historical.

It's great. That doesn't mean it can't be rebuilt somewhere else.

Progress must give way from time to time to create and preserve history.

Ted Lasso

It's a building finished in 1979. It's not really that historic.

Tear it down and you don't give it a chance to become historic.

Ted Lasso

Why does it deserve a chance to be historic?

Concert Halls fall into a category for me that deserve extra reason to become

There’s a huge difference between LES and Abravanel Hall

Here's the thing, it's not that significant from an architecture standpoint.
