While on the surface being focused on bringing in high-end customers might seem like a good idea, shutting out so much of the middle and low-end customers can really cut yourself short.

It might be a good idea to have at least one security person right next to a judge whenever court is in session.

The ZOO TV tour in the early 1990s was meant for stadium environments of 50K to 100 thousand people. The Sphere is only around 20 thousand at best, so it's more like an Imax arena thing.
