Should we rebuild or renovate roberts stadium?
Wednesday night city leaders heard first hand from the consulting firm they hired about what needs to be done.
The man in charged of Gateway Consultants, Tom Chema was not at the meeting tonight.
He spoke to city officials over the phone.
He says the building is inadequate to hold events it need to. He suggests they build a new floor, raise the ceilings and he thinks the concessions are not good enough -- vendors could be making more.
Back in January the mayor hired this Ohio based firm for 70 thousand dollars.
They were to be done in 10 months.
If you would like to hear more about this hearing WNIN will broadcast this meeting on cable channel 12 at 9 a.m. September 8th and at 5 p.m. September 11th.
