If top-tier performers come to the mid-peninsula, why would they come to the New Guild instead of the Fox Theater in Redwood City, a venue in Palo Alto or Stanford, or the M-A PAC? All these venues have advantages over the New Guild.
Has anyone done a competitive business analysis that shows performers will prefer this new venue over these other ones?
Everyone is supportive now because they buy into the best case scenario.

I am a supporter and really don't care if top tier performers play there. It would just be great to have a fun club/music venue in Menlo Park.

A great plan. Let's see Willie Nelson one time with 250 to 500 people (unlikely he will ever perform) vs Darkest Hour that showed 35 times a week to 6900 residents. Or Lady Bird that played to 5300 folks and Phantom Thread that was watched by 4300 people. The city is closing the last building that will ever show movies in MP. And good movies! Congratulations on your foresight. Ted Mundorff
