Geez, Mr. Mudball. I stepped away too long. I'm not poorly informed on the use of the expo center. Where were you back when it was built? This was a big deal amongst county folks and taxpayers because of the astronomical cost to build and maintain such a massive facility. They have revenue from booking events and rodeos and bridal shows a few times a year but you're out of your mind if you think it even comes close to breaking even, let alone make a profit. Sure has revived that area of town though. Have a nice weekend!

Been here since 79', you?

Here are some current stats on the economic impact of the Expo......https://www.theeagle.com/news/local/brazos-county-expo-complex-adds-m-to-local-economy/article_b970bc84-c4bb-11e5-a22b-039fb1d8e489.html

Eh, still better than the Ector County Courthouse.
