Yikes that’s a unique idea all right but it would destroy the aesthetic of the most beautiful room in the city.

No thanks.

Look at the restored train station in Kansas City. It has two great restaurants, a unique “outside insides the great hall” bar that is elevated 1 story and exposed to the rotunda below, a science museum etc. Very cool. My wife and I head there every trip to KC because the atmosphere is just very cool. Not enough room for all that but an upscale restaurant and a couple of attaction that bring school kids, families and fine diners would be great for downtown.

Question: Where do you all gather your magic mushrooms?

I agree with the others. Cool idea, wrong location. The Great Banking Hall should be a showpiece and the center of attention. A spaceship theatre would only distract from the beauty of the great hall. There are plenty of other places downtown another theatre could go. I like Anthony and I like theatre, but this is not a good idea for the Banking Hall.

It is a cool idea, but I think it would clutter up the great hall. We need something that doesn’t distract from the space.

I love that idea and want to hear more about it, and other ideas for the space.

Sounds like a cool idea, but it seems like you could put that lunar-lander-looking thing anywhere. Seems like if you do anything with the Great Banking Hall then it (the GBH) should be the star of the whatever you do, there is nothing else in OKC that has that sort of visual impact.

Humble opinion.
