50% Yes
46.42% No


Comment: My husband and I both agree---sell this civic center - totally and without hesitation, but build another one with MUCH Better parking and accessibility. from pensacola, FL by georgia

Comment: County and City need this venue to shore up their Wastful spending habits!!!!! from Cantomnent, Fl by Ralph

Comment: There are too many civic and charitable groups that have come to rely on the civic center as a place to hold events, especially now that the Bayfront Auditorium is gone. If it is sold to a private group, there is no guarantee they will allow current uses nor can they assure the community that they will not charge exhorbitant use fees from Gulf Breeze by William

Comment: What next, the three mile Bridge? from Pensacola, Florida by Robin

Comment: Sold? no ... that's a bit short sighted. But to lease it on favorable terms to both parties, allowing the Ice Pilots to operate the facility more to their benefit would be a GREAT solution. from Navarre, Fl by Paul

Comment: I'm for anything that would help our public servents to decrease their budget woes. It's the same all over the place: idealists have great visions of what "profits" are in store, but reality sets in and surprise; it takes money to make money. Governments all the way through to the federal level all go to the same school of how to not make money and waste tax dollars. When I went to school, back in the 50's, we were the richest nation on earth in every sense of the term. What happened in 50 years--we went from the richest nation on earth to the most debt-ridden nation on earth.Could it be greed is clouding our judgment? from Mary Esther,Fl. by Tom

Comment: What have taken so long ? from Pensacola,FL by Walt

Comment: The Ice Pilots can't even keep a fan base much less sell out the civic center. If their ownership can't do that, what happens when they want to move the team? from Pensacola, Fl by Brian

Comment: Out of 23 years, they made a profit only once. We obviously need a change! Just another example, of Pensacola's, Good Old Boys way of thinking!!!!!!!!!!! from GULF BREEZE by lydia
