Speaking Out On Gulf Coast Classic Decision

Many people around the Mobile area have formed opinions on whether the Mobile City Council should have spent $275,000 on the Gulf Coast Classic.
News Five asked people visiting Langan Park Tuesday afternoon their thoughts on the issue.
Jeremy Kramer of Mobile said, "I think we should keep it here, keep it in the home town. Absolutely."
Diego Robinson of Mobile agreed.
He said, "I think it is worth it. I think it would be a good advertisement for the city."
Jeff Alderman of Mobile said, "I think it could go either way. Yeah, its good keeping a tradition alive, but if they think there's something that's more deserving to spend the money on, then go ahead and do that. Whatever is best for the economy right now, I think."
However, Jessica Butler of Mobile said, "Maybe they should spend the money on schools or senior citizens or something."
Michael Cox of Mobile and Tishondra Morris of Mobile both agreed with the council action.
Cox said, "Of course, I think you should keep it here."
Morris said, "I think it is worth a try. I think it is worth it. I really do."
