The Story
A large area is set aside for a major entertainment or sports venue that could host a professional sports team, an amusement park, or another regional draw. This venue has little direct impact on economic development, although it may help attract and retain talent and employers.
Thanksgiving Point, the Loveland Living Planet Aquarium, Rio Tinto Stadium, Hale Centre Theatre, and other venues also provide culture and entertainment. There are no vibrant urban areas, and chain restaurants are the primary places to eat.
