I, consistently, hear that there is nothing to do in Evansville…. "It's so boring." "I'd really like to do something different." "Why can't we have things like other cities?" Well, I'm really tired of listening to the fussing, moaning and muttering. Quit complaining and start doing something about it.
Last night, I took my children to see the Harlem Globetrotters at Roberts Stadium. Not surprisingly, it was a really fun and entertaining time for all of us. But, the turnout was dismal. I would estimate the crowd at around 3500 to 4000 people. It wasn't even half full.
So, Evansville isn't willing to support the Globetrotters? What are we willing to support if not wholesome, family entertainment?
Bands playing original music have a hard time getting booked at the bigger clubs and the crowd is never exceptional. Support for the Freedom Festival is all but nonexistent. Classic rock concerts have to give hundreds of tickets away just to have a decent size crowd. Aces basketball doesn't even fill the Stadium anymore.
Surely, enlightenment will be forthcoming. Please, people. Tell me what will bring you out to support various entertainment options in our community? Have we become so sedentary that we refuse to actually put down the remote and get up from the couch long enough to enjoy some great live entertainment? Some interaction with neighbors, family, and friends?
