Re: Letter, “Mothball or sell AESC,” by Gerda Peachey.
Ordinarily, I wouldn’t bother responding to a letter so glib.
Your comment about the Heat kids’ day tickets being free is inaccurate, misleading to readers and completely inexcusable.
For the record, the tickets were $10 each, while parents who brought four kids to the game got a free seat.
With the teachers on strike that day, someone had to provide transportation and supervision.
The rink was near capacity, the concessions were very busy, and the kids had fun.
Best of all there was lots of revenue generated. Marketing to the kids is a great idea, and had you been in attendance, you would have accomplished two things. You wouldn’t have escaped having fun, and you would know what you are talking about.
Your suggestion that the city mothball or sell the AESC is completely daft.
