So how about the business owners in the city of Pittsburgh? I’m sure none of the owners or workers at restaurants, bars, or parking lots will care that an attraction that brings in 16,000+ people for 40+ nights a year is no longer in town. Not to mention the tax revenues connected to ticket prices alone that bring money into the city of Pittsburgh.
