GM Centre needs promoting


Dear Editor:

There has recently been a lot of talk of the poor financial performance the General Motors
Centre has experienced in its first year of operations.

An identified need for more frequent big-name acts has been pointed out.

The Centre however, will not be able to perform well financially if it cannot promote these acts or accommodate the performers or their patrons.

For that reason, a first class hotel is desperately needed to attract and sustain the acts as well as the visitors and potential tourists who may otherwise not attend the venue for lack of
accommodations.

A promotional campaign is needed as well. The City and Maple Leafs Sports and Entertainment (MLSE) should be looking into other promotional ventures including billboarding slated events outside of Oshawa so that the public can become more aware.

Oshawa's four corners could also be optimally used for a videotron with periodic promotions of the GM Centre's upcoming events.

This media form could provide the downtown with a biggercity atmosphere while at the same time informing the mass public who travel through the four corners of upcoming events they would otherwise be unaware of.

Just a suggestion.

John Malish
