Last year's Freedom 100 epitomized the racing of the Indy Pro Series. We saw numerous lead changes, side-by-side racing and a late shootout for the checkered flag. To be able to showcase that type of racing at a venue like Indianapolis is extraordinary.

Roger Bailey

The Vail properties are an ideal venue for many of the works in the Logan collection and we are pleased at the opportunity to help manage their exhibition. With the opening of the new Denver Art Museum complex, we have become a more significant regional institution and look forward to extending our outreach to the Vail area.

Lewis Sharp

Michael Cunnah

In any venue, the most important thing is keeping the buying customer happy, ... Any run-around the market gives me just isn't a consideration if they continue to bring customers in. They can run me around all day -- as long as customers show up.

Seth Cohen

We want it to be a private event and corporate function venue, rather than a vertical drinking establishment. We are in negotiations with the police, with whom we are building bridges. They are fairly receptive and co-operative. It's really a question on agreeing on wording.

Nicholas Wright

We're pretty sure we can't change the venue. We're not naive. But we want to change it for future students.

Jonas Woods

We've tried to build something that will be attractive for everybody from 5 to 95. And folks who are serious racers will have a nice venue. I think the event and party rooms will be popular. It's a great place for office or company outings and graduation parties.

Kris Taylor

We have this valuable piece of real estate and a venue that gets used about 65 days a year. We have needs, and there are community needs that could be fulfilled.

Wally Camp

Chris Foster

It is a home Games, this is a big venue and the approach to this selection was that we should err on the side of generosity.

The venue is just unbelievable. There are over 200 clubs in the Southwest region. That's a huge undertaking, and they've done an amazing job organizing and displaying the artwork.

Jennifer Young

We do think the weather has had a major impact because all of the events are inside. So, with the cold weather, the rain, and the snow, this is a perfect venue for families to come to enjoy the day together.

Jessica Young

It's obviously a television studio. But it's also a live-music venue. We restored it with an ear and an eye to the past, and we respected the history.

Brad Schwartz

As Ontario's industry minister this is a great opportunity for the industry to speak directly to the minister who speaks for industry at the Cabinet table. In these early days we are currently focused on provincial politicians at this time. Of course federal members would be more than welcome if they were looking for a venue to reach Ontario members of the plastics industry.

Atul Sharma

I know we look at hosting as an opportunity to showcase our area and make Southwest Washington and Vancouver a venue that the WIAA considers in the future.

Steve Marshall

Thus, there is a high probability that the new parliament, rather than being a venue for discussing development goals, will be an overheated venue for anti-Karzai criticism.

John Morrissey

Nancy Davis

There is probably no one venue in the community, besides the Rock Cats, that draws the people that the museum does to the city of New Britain. Too often we have a lot of negatives tied to our community, and this is a huge positive.

Mayor Timothy Stewart

Dayton is a great venue for these artists. It's a great tribute to Dr. Angelou and Ms. Winfrey's broad base public appeal.

Idotha Bootsie Neal

Allan Rodgers

A protocol can solve many unsettled issues, including the venue to question Syrian officials.

Farouk

Even though we've eliminated the seating in the third deck, we have created other seating options at the ballpark that we feel offer a better view at an affordable price.

Michael Crowley

He's been setting gates for the World Cup. We're hoping he can set one of the courses at the Olympics, for the parallel GS, that's their venue.

Cliff Persons

We've always been among the very finest college art museums in the South and probably America. But now, it's like a new ball game. Everything has doubled. I think it will be a more prominent cultural venue for Central Florida.

Arthur Blumenthal

HD had a limited venue two years ago. Not anymore.

David Neal

This is harmful pretrial publicity. It's all over the front page. The way the court can remedy it is to grant a change of a venue.

John Pecchia

If you drew a circle around Baton Rouge, you'd have to go pretty far out to find any venue that had available hotel rooms to handle an event of this magnitude. There just aren't enough rooms, even as far as Shreveport and Lake Charles, and you can't come in from too far.

Bernard Boudreaux

It's a chance to go back to our roots, ... It's down to the winner where we play, the size of the venue or its location is irrelevant.

Nicky Byrne

We just don't have a venue like this in Ward 4. Somewhat formal, yet casual and outdoors under the stars.

Councilwoman Shirley Scott

Before the competition I told her that, while this venue seems larger than life, really it is still just a track meet. I reminded her that this isn't something you haven't seen before -- these are the same people you run up against every weekend and you belong there with them.

Randy Bungard

The dance we're beginning to see on TV, our older generation thinks that's horrible, the way they move. Even I am shocked, and it's hard to shock me. ... But it's none of my business. That's their art form, and they need a venue to express it. I would like to go into a hip-hop club. Their hip-hop would be better if they had a concept of how their anatomy works.

Jennifer Ross

It's really more of an adult venue (and concert). It's really not geared to entertain children.

Susie Hall

There's been so much emphasis put on what an incredible venue this is going to be, so much talk about what will be ready and what won't be ready on opening day, that the facility shouldn't overshadow what incredible racing we're going to have.

Scott Savin

Kids are going to be kids, and if there is a backlash against either rave promoters or venues, we're going to be much less safer for it. These promoters know the limitations with which they can put on events in town. Kids are going to do this, either in an abandoned factory or in a venue where you have access to paramedics and police officers and security.

David Osgood

There's just no place for us to play. There's no venue for the Sons of the Pioneers like the Triple C or Hidden Valley.

Dale Warren

I think all the fans will enjoy the action-packed excitement of indoor football and also enjoy the luxury of the Hard Rock Live venue itself.

Oronde Gadsden

The Super Bowl is a perfect venue for us to target bold, expressive and passionate fans -- a key target for the Sharpie brand. Sharpie's spot is a great way to kick off our aggressive marketing campaign for 2006.

Rory Leyden

We know that great content, great speakers, and a venue that's a draw for physicians are all important factors for dinner meetings. But very little is known about how physicians decide which dinner meetings to attend. We need more specific demographic data to help us figure out what it is the doctors want in a dinner meeting and how to give it to them in the most efficient manner.

James Montague

As Sydney's premier football venue, the last thing we want to see is a big finals game having to be relocated.

Ken Edwards

Early on, we were the only place in town other than Starlight (Musicals) and places like Market Square (Arena) that did concerts, ... This was 'the' concert venue at the time, and we did 35 or 40 concert dates a year. Pretty soon there were eight other places in town.

Douglas Stark

It's an incredible venue and what we're doing here is really unique. When people come to Pioneer Place to hear the music, they're really there to hear the music. They aren't just at the bar with the band playing in the background.

Nick Barth

When I went to Broadway in the mid-sixties, everybody was trying to emulate Al Pacino and Robert De Niro and here I was kind of the wholesome 'All-American Boy' from the mid-west with the big toothy smile; so I kind of stood out - a rare kind of a thing for that kind of venue.

John Davidson

The allure of the kind of blues that this town is known for is still here. If the crowd at one of these venues claps for me, that will be more satisfying than a venue in a large city.

Jeff Marlow

I think it's obvious, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, we are faced with some formidable challenges. It's difficult to go forward when you are ejected from your home venue. ... First and foremost in our thinking is that we want - in every way possible - to conduct our event in the state of Louisiana.

Paul Hoolahan

This is a great venue to get a further understanding of the issues, the candidates and their parties' position on the issues of today.

Bob Cameron

We are suspecting that the suicide bomber came to the venue along with a small rally, which merged into the gathering. He was close to the stage . . . and he blew himself up when the prayers were nearing their end.

Niaz Siddiqui

It's turned out to be great. It's very interesting. We've helped all the venue teams, given them advice on how best to solve problems. It's really been a lot of fun.

Bob Stiles

Less than 10 years ago, Delray was home to several blues and jazz clubs. We thought since we have this brand-new venue, and jazz seems to be a musical voice in the city, we'd try to give the people who appreciate that sort of music a chance to celebrate that music at the library.

Rosalind Murray

Last year we played the Solomon Islands at the same venue and there was a big walk-up crowd which delayed people getting into the venue.

John O'neill

They were very impressed with the hospitality and support that was provided. To a person, each one said wonderful things about our venue.

Connie Hagler

It's a really good venue because it's pretty small and that makes the shows more personal.

Katherine Cadwallader

The situation in Greece was very specific, very political, which explained what happened. We tried to change the [venue] situation in the course of the preparation of the games but it was too late. I'm convinced we are not going to face the same problems we had in Athens.

Denis Oswald

We're hoping that we can just add another venue for people to go for food. What we do have, hopefully they'll enjoy it and keep coming back.

Wayne Olson

Most people don't know what it's like to stand up there and speak their mind. I have a venue to do that. I get paid to do that. It's not like I'm doing heavy lifting up there. It's not like I'm solving the world's problems. It's like I'm hanging out with a bunch of people and it's cool.

Dave Chappelle

It has at least been put off for the time being, but one is not sure for how long. All that has been resolved is the venue. What both sides have done is buy time.

Iqbal Athas

We're definitely looking to reach a broader audience and by having an act of this size, we can go to the bigger venue.

Kelly Michel

I don't think people realize the role that La Costa played in the history of the PGA Tour. It really was at the forefront of professional golf being a venue and what that offered.

Mike Crosthwaite

Each case is based on its own merits and facts, but it has been my experience that a change of venue is very rarely granted.

Fran Humphries

When we began thinking about this year's parade and what had happened in New Orleans we realized we were two cities that had experienced trauma. After all the grief New Orleans had, they have not been able to stage their jazz funeral. We realized we could provide the venue.

Jeanne Fleming

Their night show had 100 to 200 people waiting outside the venue trying to get in.

Jason Kulbel

It's a wonderful event. It's just a wonderful venue, and it's unique. I'm not sure there is another Tour event that combines the celebrity impact, the professional golf impact, and in our case, cars.

David Rooney

I think it's a fabulous golf course. It's a great golf course to play match play on, and it's so easy for the fans to walk around and see other holes. It's a great venue for this event.

Helen Alfredsson

I am pleased with the effort and commitment and the fact that the youngsters are committed and motivated. They are certainly enjoying the experience. It's a tremendous opportunity for them and for me, to be given a chance to participate in a world venue. I have never been on that stage myself.

Rick Magnante

The committee wants me to answer charges without facing my accusers, ... I am therefore, by advice of my counsel, forced to take the Fifth Amendment today until I can get a venue where I can face my accusers.

Richard Scrushy

It will be our first rock concert, and we're real excited. We think Foreigner represents the kind of entertainment that this venue can fit well. We offer a very intimate setting and the acoustics are excellent.

Jim Shirley

The key message here is when you purchase a ticket for any venue outside the authorized purchasing method, you are not guaranteed to receive a valid ticket. If you go through a classified ad in the newspaper or on eBay, those tickets are not guaranteed.

Barb Preuss

We really want to turn it back into a family-oriented venue for all ages to go to and have fun any day of the week.

Lynn Davis

It's a good venue. I wish they had more shows each month.

Bryan Turner

The Villages has over 50,000 folks living on-site and every venue was right there intact. We have to overcome the perception our venues will not be one place.

Jeff Mielke

I would be willing to rotate if the bids came in somewhat comparable to Hartford. What's happened is that bids by the Hartford Civic Center have offered far and away a bigger venue and more money than anyone else. It's a simple economic decision.

Robert Mulcahy

We believed this was the proper venue and that she could certainly get a fair and neutral review of her case.

Sean Cullen

What better venue than the Super Bowl, where you can reach 90 million mothers, fathers, daughters and sons. I have no doubt that many will be surprised and they will not be expecting to see a communication about self-esteem. I certainly hope we will be hitting an emotional chord.

Philippe Harousseau

We arrived at around 9am after sleeping in Kenya and should be going for training this afternoon. I do not know if we will be allowed to use the match venue.

Charles Mhlauri

To my knowledge, there's never been a case reversed or stayed because of a venue issue.

David Berg

The communications network is the lifeline to any organization. Events like these provide a venue for business leaders who need to understand true business value when investing in a communications infrastructure and road map that meets the demands of today's competitive and cost-conscious business environment.

Kevin Kelleher

When you have an orchestra, you don't want to just jump ship and leave. This has been a wonderful venue for me.

Paul Nadler

As a concept, I support a downtown arena, ... Unlike the last deal, this one should be totally financed by the sports authority and venue users unless the city will be receiving a meaningful piece of the revenue stream.

Carroll Robinson

Every option is on the table and being considered right now. Part of it has to do with Jeff's schedule. We'll also look at what other NFL cities will be doing. We're just undecided as to what format, what night, what venue. It's really up in the air.

John Dwyer

They're at the best venue they'll ever play in. They're at an NBA-level venue. So, it's a great experience for the kids and we're so lucky to be able to provide that.

Troy Dannen

We're still struggling pretty hard with securing a venue. We're not off the idea at all. The good news is that we had a lot of interest.

John Morrill

We have changed our plans and are taking out smaller protests away from the main venue because of the curfew.

Yogesh Bhattarai

We could start to make a name for ourselves in Little Rock. Part of that comes back to facilities.... I've been all over the country and we've played in every kind of venue you can dream of, but nowhere have we been are there better facilities closer together.

Ron Crawford

At every venue there will be environmental information distributed and chances for people to get involved with environmental groups. There's no reason why you can't go out and have fun, have a beer and get a little education.

Peter Shapiro

We are here to discuss security and venue assessment, and will tour all the venues of the series.

Yashovardhan Azad

We continue to focus our attention on absolute volume growth driven by Customer and Firm trading activity. Ultimately, the success of an exchange must be based on its acceptance by these two constituencies. I am pleased to note that ISE remains the number one venue for Customer and Firm combined trading activity in equity options.

David Krell

You can't have a glaring weakness with your most important venue and expect to win.

Dan Doctoroff

Every venue should be ready before the Games, leaving us enough time -- even if it's little time -- to do the testing, to put the [Olympic] overlays [on]. The only worry we have is that the pace will not be kept because of unexpected difficulties.

Denis Oswald

We'll continue to add things and make appropriate adjustments as we move forward. This is a community venue we want people from all walks of life to enjoy!

Ross Vecchio

The overarching point here is that they can pick any venue or target city -- with nothing on them -- arrive in that city and, based on what we are seeing here, [construct a bomb] using common materials.

Tony Villa

There was a period of time prior to the restoration, when shows were run by Venue Tech, they pretty much did their own shows. Costs were really prohibitive. I got impression they didn't really want outside promoters.

Bill Barr

I can count on one hand the number of times we've had a fraudulent ticket issue. If you want to sell fraudulent tickets, you're much better off doing it outside the venue on game day.

Jeff Fluhr

We just feel they're here 365 days a year, and they deserve a venue to promote themselves.

Cindy Thompson

Certainly there is nothing that prohibits the commission or the (Gaming) Control Board from saying to properties, you have to be careful about and responsible for the security of any type of venue. But it can't go to content.

Allen Lichtenstein

[The tournament returns to the same venue this morning for the 2005 state tournament, but this time the elements are forecasted to be more conducive to scoring.] The weather is supposed to be great, ... They say it's going to be the nicest day of the week.

Alex Adams

We were determined to demonstrate our competence as Asia's world city by tackling whatever challenges the conference threw up, both inside and outside the venue.

John Tsang

[But a change of venue is probably another long-shot.] Enron is synonymous with fraud everywhere in America, ... I don't think he'll get more of a fair or less of a fair trial in Kansas than he will in Houston.

Orin Snyder

Our intelligence tells us he is still in Afghanistan. I think the U.S. apprehension was right in deploying some of these special forces across the border and making sure he wouldn't take that venue into Pakistan.

Haron Amin

River Oaks is one of the most prestigious and historically significant venues in American tennis and is going to be a great long term home for the Stanford Cup. We love the intimate feel of the venue and believe both the players and the fans will appreciate this special setting.

Jon Venison

We think it will be a new and different thing to play the match play at Ted Rhodes. It's a challenging course. It's got a lot of water and a lot of hazards, and with the higher quality of player that we've been getting in the match play of the Schooldays, I just think it will be kind of exciting to watch them play that venue.

Sally Davis

We moved for a change of venue a year ago because of publicity in this case. And that motion has been renewed.

David Mejia

We've got a combination of veterans and young kids with limited experience. They've never played in a venue like this.

Rick Magnante

He has done more things for the Joliet Drama Club because he has been more of an actor than a singer. This will be a new venue for him.

Ralph Sherman

We're pleased that the judge confirmed our belief that federal court was not the appropriate venue to address this issue.

Lynne Koreman

For Australian bands to be showcasing in this venue now means Australian rock is once again a serious player on the LA music landscape.

Tony George

In most cases, the locals selected were the winner of the Sonic Bids Opening Bands contest. Where we did not hold the contest, the locals were either bands we have worked with in the past or were recommended by the local venue.

Karen Donnelly

Unfortunately Woodbine Racetrack is not a venue that will be available for this year's sale, but we're thrilled to be able to offer the Canadian Open at a terrific facility like Country Heritage Park. We've been hosting the auction on Sundays in recent years, but a Wednesday format allows us to proceed with as little inconvenience as possible to horsemen and potential buyers.

Heather Reid

This is a unique and exciting venture for Hard Rock. In both the Hard Rock Park and Hotel we will be working with some of rock's legendary artists to create a unique entertainment venue.

Hamish Dodds

The venue is beautiful, ... It's on a hill. From wherever you stand the sound is excellent. It also overlooks the lake.

Kate Baker

They're working in a public venue on public-policy issues, so why shouldn't their fees be made public? It's such a spin to say that this isn't fair to them or an invasion of their privacy.

Leah Rush

There should be concern expressed at every possible venue to bring pressure on both the African governments and on the international bodies to do something about this. Unless this is stopped, these species could become extinct, and it would be a terrible loss to humanity.

Richard Leakey

What turns me on is to walk into a sold-out venue. The audiences are so much the same as they were in the '60s. It's just an amazing thing. I can't explain it, but I hope it never stops.

Chubby Checker

After Opening Ceremonies, we've gone to every venue as it opened, my team. We've helped them open on their first days. Now we're basically firefighters if there's something going on.

Bob Stiles

It's a tremendous sporting event, one of the best in the country. The community supports it tremendously. It's great for the city, great for the program and great for the venue.

Gene Bleymaier

It was time to create a venue for the commercial market players, to hear about the successful deals. The event was designed to be about the successes in the market, the people who did them, and how you can do it, too. We set out to transform the language about renewable energy finance, by focusing on and presenting what works.

Michael Eckhart

I really think the clubhouse goes beyond normal. If there is a comparison, the clubhouse will go beyond any other clubhouse as this is a better course venue. There is going to be a banquet room there for 300, 400 people. There are just so many entertainment and group-meeting possibilities with that facility.

Steve Morton

Working with a major promoter on a new venue is a lot of work. You have to convince them you have a venue that could handle these folks and meet their standards.

Sally Hamana

After the England tour we believe that visiting teams should no longer have apprehensions about playing in Karachi or any other venue.

Abbas Zaidi

There were some nerves knowing that major leaguers go out there. The venue is just so cool. You just have to try to relax.

Beau Stevens

The venue deserves a late-night slot, and for that we've gone for Jimmy and a burlesque show and an almost-anything-goes comedy show with Jonathan Atherton.

Michael Peterson

This has given us a venue to talk about Community of Courage.

Carole Simons

It's certainly one less venue where children will be exposed to the enticements of smoking. We hope it will set a standard that other companies will follow.

Bill Corr

We approached the Hilton. We were looking for a nice, intimate venue, an intimate place. It was our first choice.

Kathi Glist

It would be great to see that remain a music venue and some of that history and character be maintained so music lovers could always come there and it be somewhat of a museum for our history.

Wes Griffith

This is a grassroots-level venue that offers an avenue for anglers that aren't necessarily on a professional level.

Dan Simmons

We call it the most diverse music venue around.

Taylor Davis

It's all just part of our plan to keep Bristol Motor Speedway the No. 1 venue for racing.

Jeff Byrd

It's such a great venue for all sorts of things.

Debbie Beck

Our preference is to first identify a home away from home venue for our football team. The possibilities, there are more than a handful right now. We haven't weighed in on any of them at this point, and we haven't ruled any of them out.

Rick Dickson

These guys opened their doors and their hearts to us. In my 30 years, I've probably never seen as nice a venue as this. They know it's about the kids and it's about Pittsburgh.

Jimmy Cvetic

We feel like it's a very comparable venue to what we are going to experience. We are watching very closely their timing of construction, how they grow the rough up, what are their restrictions on carts because everything changes from October to March.

Jay Overton

It's a tremendous venue. I was telling Chandler there's nothing I can say or do that can prepare you for coming out of the bullpen there that first time, looking up and seeing 10,000 fans.

Duane Blackburn

It came down to our freshman against their senior in that last match, and things just didn't go our way. I thought we needed this experience tonight in this type of venue, with this type of crowd because our core nucleus is made up of freshmen and sophomores, so we'll be back.

Tom Dolde

The idea would be to grow this as a major track venue for Central California.

Carlo Prandini

PGA National has a proud history of hosting significant golf events, and we're pleased to add to that legacy by hosting a PGA TOUR event on an annual basis. We believe the Champion Course will prove to be an outstanding venue for The Honda Classic.

Llwyd Ecclestone

As we create new Mercury vehicles like the Milan and Mariner Hybrid, we know our customer has a real love of storytelling, ... Working with Landmark Theatres is exciting because it opens up opportunities for us in the world of independent film ... and then gives us a venue to showcase our invigorated brand in very unexpected ways.

Linda Perry

We are all very well and looking forward to it. We had a really excellent four or five days of intensive training and a few practice games at our holding camp in Lucerne in Switzerland. We just can't wait to get to the venue and get on the ice.

David Murdoch

I'm convinced it can work because I've made it work at another venue.

Bill Finical

Certainly with the new venue, downtown stadium and new team, I think there will be some early interest and excitement for baseball, which is always healthy. I'm sure the Drive will go through periods of time when they'll be looking for fans.

Carl Scheer

The purpose of this was not simply to clear the way for getting out of town. The Twins have been trying every possible way to get a suitable venue.

Roger Magnuson

There are consumer shows like this all over the country, usually held in a single venue. Here, we're familiar with scrapbook conventions, like at the South Towne Expo Center, that draw about 13,000 people. Houston has a national quilting festival for one week in October, and it brings in 150,000 women from around the world.

Jo Packham

We're in bigger markets now than when we first started, but the right ownership group and the right venue are more important than population size. The NBA hasn't put a timetable on going to 30 (development league) teams yet. We're always on the lookout for markets that make sense and we try to fish out and see if there are any interested groups.

Kent Partridge

I felt like I had my head in the sand. I thought, this can't be happening in America. I'm not opposed to someone having a message, no matter how controversial, because that's what America is about. But the venue he [Phelps] picked is just totally inappropriate.

Kurt Mayer

We never in any of our promotional materials promised any sales. We promised a venue, a 10-acre field, where both emerging and established artists could show their works for 60 days and be exposed to a market they normally wouldn't get exposure from.

Manuel Bornia

Kitty's donation through 1% For The Planet is a venue for businesses to partner with community organizations to enhance their environmental stewardship.

Laura Hawkins

I'm very, very excited about how the county has dealt with this process from the beginning. It's been very open, it's been very above board at each step and because of that the public is going to get a sports and entertainment venue that they are going to be proud of for the next 20 to 25 years.

Ben Sciortino

We have arranged for ticket holders to come to the venue at specific times as written on the tickets. It should be a fun event.

Arif Mujahidin

We think this can be a very strong part of the new tourism effort. We have the names of Ralph Stanley and Jesse McReynolds - names known throughout the world. We need to take advantage of having a venue in their own town.

Charlie Mcconnell

The sports can't count on us (X Games) as its only venue.

Chris Stiepock

We had to cap it off last year too because the venue was too small.

Jeanette Cooper

The parties all sat down, and at the end of the day we all agreed the best thing to do would be to position the event at a new venue.

Desi Howe

As we continue our efforts to secure a new ballpark in Oakland, we will take every measure to make the Coliseum a comfortable and fan-friendly facility. Our goal is to create a more intimate ballpark atmosphere and bring our seating capacity in line to what we have proposed for our new venue.

Michael Crowley

He lives and breathes attention and combat. If he were to go on a friendly venue, there would be no story. It's made in heaven for him to be in a fight with Letterman.

Martin Kaplan

It's a big, nice venue. Really exciting to play in. I'm just interested in seeing how loud we can get it.

Alvin Smith

We just looked for a good stage and good sound. I just thought it could be a place where we could have killer bands play. It's a cool venue that really doesn't do original music.

Ryan Puliz

I really like it from a recruiting standpoint. When you bring kids in there their eyes light up. It's got that big-arena feel, but it's still kind of old-fashioned. It's a really great venue for college basketball.

Tom Billeter

We will apply the experience accumulated in the past four years to the operation of every competition and training venue as well as facilities in the Olympic Village in an intensive and comprehensive way.

Liu Jingmin

Sometimes we have to re-route the way we go out of the venue, ... It's really something that you can't get use to. Seriously, sometimes you have fans that are real cool and collected and say `I love your work.' Sometimes it's `AAAHHHH!!!!' It's a shock every time.

Omarion

I think we're very concerned at Ringling to go with social messages as well as being an entertainment venue.

Scott O'donnell

There is a fear of there being violence in any kind of a venue that has large numbers of people. And sports has always been one of the areas with the visibility and media attention that's given that it's always a logical and potential place for terrorist violence.

Lynn Jamieson

When I work on club interiors my biggest aim is to help the venue to become a perfect money-generating machine. All the places I've designed in the past made their owners reach people very fast.

Alexei Haas

It is a much better venue now. It is going to be totally sick because of the venue and there should be a really good set of spectators and a lot of really sick riders.

John Seaberry

We needed a nice venue for children's performance on the East Side that would not be in a school.

Councilwoman Shirley Scott

As a trainer it is quite an accomplishment for your dogs to perform in such a large, prestigious venue. It is so important to me to take a bunch of shelter dogs to a place like this, showing the world that you can teach an old dog new tricks.

Dawn Goehring

I know it's going to respond the way I want it to night after night. When I go into a venue, there are a lot of unknowns ... the acoustics, how well I'll connect with the audience, that sort of thing. So, having an instrument now that is all I could ever want in a guitar is a major plus.

Joe Beck

I love it [playing at the Guild Hall]. I spoke to Joe Swail after the match and we discussed how funny it is sometimes when you do well at a venue you did well at the year before.

Michael Judge

I have such a great team behind me, they help me so much with everything, they got me to the top of the hill and it was such an honor to compete in this venue together with Kari and Sandra.

Jennifer Heil

It would have been nice to hold it at a bigger venue.

Derek Moss

This speech gives him a venue to turn things around, and it's important, but events are more important. Bush has been losing the battle for the agenda and the perception battle.

Michael Genovese

Major-wise, it's pretty comparable, ... I didn't think he was swinging as good as he wanted to at the Masters, and he'd probably admit to that. U.S. Open, he really played pretty solid. British Open, obviously that venue he loves. He's awfully good. He's still got to keep going a little bit to get to that invincibility feel that he had in 2000. But he's putting a pretty good spin on it right now.

Fred Funk

That venue is set up for dancing.

Richard Dunne

We want to make sure this is a fun, positive celebration of springtime and a venue for children.

Bill Enright

Fortunately, in my position, I don't have to learn plays or new formations ? it's just catch it and kick it. That's pretty universal throughout the league, ... So I'll just keep doing what I've been doing for 15 years. It's just a different venue, different city.

Chris Mohr

As important as the venue and the menu are, they're secondary to the content.

James Montague

I'll take a run around the venue and right past all the fans, and nobody realizes I'm running past them.

Guy Berryman

It was a dream for the girls to play in a huge venue like that.

Dave Sattler

Safety and quality of all the Olympic venue projects are under control.

Jin Yan

Stan Kennedy, a local piano tuner and a killer guitarist, was asked to teach classes at the Excel Program, a music class at Emmanuel Christian School in Hartsville. He couldn't do it, but he recommended me, and I've really loved it. It's not exclusive to members of the church, but the church serves as the venue, and I have students from 9 years old to 64.

Jim Stephens

How fitting, in the 25th year, that out of the blue a young woman of extraordinary talent should be discovered in an out of the way venue and become the surprise winner and only the second solo woman to win the Perrier.

Nica Burns

It was voted most favorite venue of 2004 by both trios, so you know it's cool.

Karen Crawford

It's our location. It's a lot easier for them to take a tour bus and go to a comparable venue on the mainland than to pack up and come here. But our population supports the shows pretty well, I think.

Tom Moffatt

It looks like we´ll still be in Austin on those dates, ... It´s not sure what the venue will be.

John Skinner

I would assume the government chose this particular venue to get a jury here. The biggest challenge is to find people who have not made a decision.

Douglas Green

We're very excited to be coming out here. It's a wonderful venue.

Nancy Harris

This is the first time people are going to see the new covered roof up there (on the Phoenix Plaza). Our event is important for selling this new venue. We are proud of the lineup. We think it is going to draw capacity crowds because it is so big and it is free.

Jonathan Witz

Unfortunately, I am still not at the competitive level I would expect, especially at a venue like St. Andrews, which hosts the best event in the world.

Severiano Ballesteros

It will be a fun time to be able to play a venue like the Royal Oak Music Theatre and to be able to play a big show for our hometown crowd. We haven't had the chance to do that for a couple of years.

Nate Castle

The venue is great for spectatorship, ... The water conditions are as good as I've ever seen. It's beautiful. That's why I come out here.

Paul Kane

[All the biggest country stars have played Lanierland, including George Jones and Tammy Wynette and Porter Waggoner and Dolly Parton, when the original venue was an old circus tent.] I remember it leaked that night we had Porter and Dolly, ... We were sitting in the audience and a big raindrop hit me on the head.
