SO, baseball is all - been there, done that, and we've got a sweet cement stadium that will be an eyesore for the next 50 years.
Its time Fort Wayne REALLY got going on the progressive circuit. People have already beat us to a lot of attractions, but I've been doing some searching and I believe I have a couple of ideas that no one has beaten us to yet!
First off - BULL FIGHTING! Imagine it, we start the summer off with a bang and have the running of the bulls down main street. Followed by a suited up matadores can battle with the beast until the end! Of course we'd have to give it some sort of Fort Wayne flavor, but I'm open to discussion on that. We could build the arena pretty easily, and imagine the usability, we could probably use that sucker for at least 150 days of the year.
Second up - COCK FIGHTING! Yes, yes, I know its illegal, but so is meth and we do that anyway. We've been talking about gambling, cherry masters, casinos, but we can get all that stuff with a short drive to Gary or the nearest reservation. This is one avenue we haven't explored yet - imagine the economy boost, of course we'd have to collect taxes on the winnings. we could convert one of the abandoned warehouses into a cockfighting pit.
These are just a few of the ideas of mine that I feel would really work out well in downtown. I've got a ton of them, but I thought these would be two good starting places as a proof of concept.

What about dog fights?
Where would the Ultimate Fighting events take place? Oh sorry, I forgot, The Plex puts them on.
When you combine all of these ideas you start to build a common theme: Fort Wayne, the City that Hates Animals.
Kinda catchy, really. Plus it would be very economical as you could probably build just one arena that would serve all these sports. Plus dogs, as PoD suggests. And hey, we're all about canned hunting in this state so please don't leave those guys out.
Nice job, CFW. Way to think out of the box. Sure, it's edgy, but it's original. And the fact that there aren't any developers stepping up to do it puts it on the same par as most of the other "what-if's" that people have been tossing around as alternative concepts to Harrison Square.
Nah, most ultimate fighting events AND dog fights are usually domestic disputes on the south side...!
As to the BULL FIGHTING? Well, I like it, but maybe others would wind up CONFUSING that with all the BULL SLINGING that goes on in City Hall...
;)

What about gladiators? A little blood would make it worth driving downtown.
they used to draw big crowds to the female and co-ed mud wrestling at "The Scorpion"- next to "the Rock" on b-way, and Taylor.
Or how about electoral Mud-slinging?
thats my favorite sport- especially the inter-party kind when things start to get desperate!
this collegial, incestous makey-nicy stuff sucks. lets see some political blood shed in the mud, the blood, and the beer. Or I'm voting for David Roach! just joking- unless someone comes up with 10K to mak it worth my while..
