i dont understand why there was a vote to restrict capacity for an event center

I think the goal is to have the River Center be redone and expand Convention Hall Capacity and not try to make the arena part larger. With increase Convention center capacity (hall space), Baton Rouge can compete for larger Organizations that have their annual meetings at different cities around the country each year. Baton Rouge can use the late fall and spring dates when weather up North is still quite cold and snowy and attract conventions.
