good, but not in the context of what the MAPS program is all about. I'm fairly certain The Skirvin will do very well on its own and still be the landmark hotel that it is now.
Which might be better for them in the long term.
Ummmm...your statement contradicts itself. This proposal is all about MAPS enticing new development, namely, a 400+ room tower attached to the Skirvin.

And your comment about not using existing facilities? Ummmm.....didn't MAPS 1 reuse the existing facilities at the State Fair Grounds, and the existing facilities at the Cox Center and the existing facilities at the Civic Center? Wasn't MAPS for Kids all about renovating existing facilities? I don't see the point.
