Add Durham and Raleigh together.

AMS projected 149 events per year




On Greensboro's TPAC and some obviously bogus math from advocates who stand to profit

448,998 / 224 events = 2,004 guests per event

TPAC is supposed to have 3,000 seats

149 x 2,004 = 298,596 total probable guests per year at the top end.

298,596 / 448,998 = 66% less attendance at TPAC than DPAC if we are lucky
