"...Three remarkable events cost $55 or I can see one event at the
unexpanded civic center, Flashdance, for $52.50 to $62.50. Frugal/greedy

"...Furthermore, they want to build it right away on the grounds that
every month of delay will add another million dollars to the total cost
due to inflation. As the existing funding plan stretches the city’s
ability to take on long-term debt almost to its limit, additional
borrowing to cover unforeseen circumstances would likely be at higher
interest rates than those quoted so far.
This project could ruin
Rapid City’s credit rating for a generation, resulting in higher taxes
to keep the city government running.

I do wonder whether we might be able to compete with other venues based on price if we didn't spend $180 million that we'd then have to charge more (right?) to pay back.
