Montgomery Mayor Steven Reed made the comment that Garrett Coliseum “…is not in the city’s future,” Thursday morning during a radio interview on Sports Talk 740.Reed says it is not feasible to continue to invest in a building that is more than 70 years old.
“People want to park and walk in downtown. They don’t want to go from one side of the community to another side of the community when they’re coming in for a concert or coming in for a convention,” he said. This summer, a $3.5 million dollar renovation and upgrade project began at the coliseum that includes new lights, air conditioning, a new roof, upgraded locker rooms and concession stands and a resurfaced parking lot.
