[PhxPavilion]

I remember going there at least once as a kid when it opened. It was really vibrant and doing well, with a band playing in the court yard. I think its failure really is a result of everything that has been mentioned, there simply wasn't enough demand around it. Downtown was an abysmal state and while the AZ Center was indeed grand it couldn't sustain itself without help from anything else other than the sporting events and occasional Symphony Hall concert. I think we're lucky it got built downtown at all rather than as some big mega development in north Phoenix or Scottsdale.
