They did re-do the locker rooms and increase spending on halftime entertainment, plus those cool movie posters. George David's old job (head of scouting, i think?) is kind of important. Not replacing him saves...maybe 150 grand? Is that really any kind of costs savings? The only other costs savings i've heard discussed are decreasing the suites. Which makes no sense to me and i haven't heard that it's actually being done.  I know our attendance sucks but I haven't heard of any cost cutting measures, just that we are riding out the poor economy. Do you have any additional insight into Tom Gores and co. cutting costs?
