JQH Arena Special Events Thread

What about this 15,000-seat arena that's going to be apart of the horse complex in Republic. Would that present problems for The Q?

If anything the new arena would make JQH better because of the competition. JQH would go from the 'Country Jamboree' to booking more and diverse acts. I wouldn't hold your breath on that project though.

You keep saying this but the matter of fact is the acts you want do not tour arenas, Mr. Kelly Clarkson would sell out JQH even though she is only touring 4k venues across the country.

is it going to be a legit arena or an oversized barn? I assumed it would be a dirt floor arena with only bleachers and not designed for concert accoustics so I don't expect to see concerts there.

Im sorry did I offend you? Yes Mr. Kelly Clarkson is touring small venues this tour and wouldn't have booked a show at JQH anyway, but the fact of the matter is there is no diversity in the musical acts JQH is booking with the exception of Buble and Elton John. Do I think they shouldn't be booking these country shows that sell so good? Not at all, the University needs the money! But they should also be booking other artists that they are "afraid wont sell out JQH." Not every show will be a sellout, that is what they still need to learn. Of course they dont want to book shows that will only draw a few thousand, but they wont even take a look.
And as for your comment on "the acts you want do not tour arenas"... I guess your right, there are no rock, r&b, rap, pop, classical acts that tour any arenas of 10,000. I guess when the University of Arkansas get acts such as Snoop Dog, John Mayer, T.I., etc. that sell out in minuets there... they wouldn't even come close to selling out here. Even with a much larger college student population. Then again, that would be too much to ask...

James Taylor coming to the Q on July 17.

Here is your hip hop act, Springfield...

Black and Yellow. Black and Yellow

That will get 2 to 4k I bet.
