IN the 80's and early 90's it literally was one of the top 10 grossing arena's in the country! This is fact. But sadly the size and change in music has done things that may make it harder to get back so many shows.
I wouldn't trade in my memories of those shows for anything.
I agree. I saw some great bands in concert at Lakefront Arena and remember well that it was one of the most successful and highest grossing arenas of its size in the country.
But I think I also recall that Athletics did not benefit directly from a $$$ standpoint from the Lakefront Arena profit - that went to the University as a whole.
