While the Blaisdell Center Master Plan dreams big, the county should expand the Blaisdell vision further (“City unveils what a $722M redevelopment of Blaisdell Center might look like,” Star-Advertiser, July 6). Attracting bigger names to a concert venue means that the 8,800-seat arena capacity seems small. The Blaisdell Concert Hall, too, could use more than 3,000 seats.

Finally, parking for more than 4,000 vehicles would be pleasing to promoters of the most prestigious events. Just look at how the Hawaii Convention Center continues to suffer from its lack of adequate parking. The city should “go big or go home.”

Expansion of the existing designs is merely incremental. Let’s truly accommodate the anticipated growth for 2060 and beyond.
