They should be admonished for their poor decision. We will not support them and can take our business and $$ elsewhere !

I will not visit Sandia Casino, nor will I purchase gasoline at their stations if this insanity continues. Also I will not visit the "tent" which I see will be on the pueblo land this year.

The Fiesta is economically important to the entire area, including Sandia Pueblo to not resolve this issue. COME ON, Sandia Pueblo, work out these issues NOW!

Just let them land where they need too. This helps out Sandia Pueblo as well with the income from visitors. We love the balloon fiesta. Don't take this away from the spectators

If there was a viable reason why they shouldn't land there I might agree, but for no reason I can't get behind harming the economy and it will.

With Balloon Fiesta less than 3 weeks away, the Sandia Pueblo's sudden and unexplained ban on balloon landings is really unfortunate. Balloon pilots normally avoid Pueblo lands anyway, but what if there's an emergency?

We have out of state guests that come for the balloon fiesta every year. We go to the casino and buffet multiple times during that period. That won't be happening this year unless the ban is lifted. I will never go to the casino again if they do this.

Very disappointed. Sandia reaps a large amount of business from the Balloon Fiesta and such short notice is not fair. I enjoy the Sandia casino, bingo, etc., however, I won't spend any money until there is some resolution of this issue.

Please reconsider and allow pilots to land on Pueblo property.

The Balloon Fiesta and Albuquerque can't afford to lose attendees and /or participants because of restrictions like this!

Hopefully out of town visitors will learn about this quickly so they will not patronize this pueblo and it's other businesses! Funny how they want the community to support their functions, but they don't support the community! Sovereign or not, they are still part of the community!

There's enough casinos, hotels, restaurants, and golfing here in ABQ, I don't need you and won't miss you. You'll miss me though, I WAS a loyal customer. Bye Bye Sandia!
