Business Wire
Global Entertainment Corporation (AMEX: GEE), a company engaged in
sports management, arena and related real estate development,
facility and venue management and marketing, venue ticketing and
brand licensing, today announced that on May 10, 2007, an agreement
was signed for the development of a multi-purpose events center to
be located in Dodge City, Kansas. The development project was
approved by the Dodge City and Ford County Commissions.
International Coliseums Company (ICC), a Global subsidiary that has
completed multiple projects of this nature, will lead the design
phase and have oversight responsibility for the construction phase
that is expected to begin in December 2007. Dodge City, situated in
the center of America�s Heartland, has a population of
approximately 34,000 and boasts with pride its Western heritage.
Dodge City and the surrounding area have experienced growth
unequaled by any other Eastern Kansas city, which makes the
feasibility and long-term success of this project achievable. The
area is well known for historical and rodeo events, which the new
center will easily accommodate, with additional events to include
concerts, trade shows, family shows, agricultural events and other
civic functions. The closest major city is Wichita, roughly 150
miles east of Dodge City. The new $33.7 million multi-purpose
events center is well suited to enhance nearby attractions and
allow room for future development. The center will have
approximately 4,300 seats, with designated VIP seating and luxury
suites as well. Steven J. Bielewicz, president of Global
Properties, said, �It has been a pleasure presenting our plans to
the city and county commissions for a multi-purpose events center
that will serve Dodge City and the surrounding communities, and
provide a new option for a wide range of entertainment and civic
events. ICC will now move forward to refine our design to meet the
specific requirements of Dodge City. Our Encore division will be
engaged in a multi-year agreement to manage the center, which will
include staffing and catering. Under Encore, our licensing and
advertising division, GEMS, will handle sales and marketing
services. Our GetTix subsidiary will provide exclusive ticketing
services for all events held at the events center.� Richard
Kozuback, president and chief executive officer of Global
Entertainment Corporation, stated, �Dodge City and its surrounding
communities have the profile we seek for the development of a
multi-purpose events center. Our events centers provide a modern
facility for the various well-established entertainment venues
already enjoyed by a community, while offering the opportunity to
add new venue options to enhance the entertainment value a city can
offer its citizens. We have several opportunities of this nature in
other cities throughout the U.S. in various stages of negotiations
that we anticipate will move to approval status in the coming
months.� Visit our web sites: www.globalentertainment2000.com
