. And it's not like there is a vast range of competing exciting entertainment options in Dayton on a regular basis. You could easily make the case that their local support, compared to OHIO, is pathetic.
No local entertainment?
good gosh....what rock are you living under?
Dayton Dragons are the gem of the minor leagues in the summer.
They have the Dayton Gems in the winter, there are a multitude of activities ranging from the annual appearance of the Globetrotters to several ice shows. Dayton is the permenant home to WGI and the world championship for Drumline and performing arts groups with over 100K folks descending on the town 2 seperate weekends for the Championships. The Art Institute jwith exhibits ranging from the Terra Cotta army, the Chihuly Glass exhibit and several other Museums other than the Air Force Museum are well attended. Memorial Hall is frequently busy as is the Victory Theatre with 300 performances a year. There are several other teams that folks follow in the area and Hara, the Nutter Center and UD Arena all have pretty decent shows and headliners. The Oregon District has a few good clubs and the Dayton Convention Center usually has something going on. The Air Show is a world class attraction but sadly the Grand American is gone.....all this and I have not even touched the masses that jump in the car and head for attractions in Cincy, Kings Mills or Columbus. There is a ton of stuff for Daytonians to do every single day of the week. Pretty amazing place really.
