54	Chad Moore	The only place that truly makes sense for the Dome and Birmingham IS DOWNTOWN. The downtown area needs venues like this to invigorate redevelopment, not another reason why people should develop other areas and move people away from the city center.

56	Matt Nunnelly	Make my home city a place I'm proud to call home, not a dump!
57	christopher huighes	If the dome is located anywhere else than down town, someone must be benefiting financially.

If the mayor depends on an outside consultant to tell us where to build the dome, how do we know that gambling money is not influencing that independent study.

77	Megan Brennard	The only way that building a dome will benefit Birmingham is to build it downtown!

Consider putting money to revive the area around Legion Field rather than letting it rot like Legion Field. It would be cheaper and better for downtown as a whole if Legion Field and the surrounding area weren't a rust accumulation. Also, building the dome into the BJCC location would be a close 2nd to reviving legion field and the nearby neighborhoods.

95	Mike Perez	If we are to make progress in establishing "Birmingham" as a cultural/entertainment destination, we must understand that metro Birmingham is not the hub of the area -- Downtown Birmingham is!
96	Patrick Ballard	The best place is the dome b/c it will further the redevelopment of the city center, which critical to revitalizing all of Birmingham. Building the dome anywhere else would dilute our revitalization efforts and drag Birmingham down even more.
97	Evvie Allison	I'd prefer you didn't build the dome at all, but if you're going to do it, do it downtown.

A domed stadium with sporting events would be much more likely to bring me to B'Ham and I bet other people feel the same way.
