According to Dallas Morning News reporter David Flick, the new/old rink is struggling at Fair Park, despite all its charm and hours of open ice. He reports today (www.dallasnews.com) that after an initial rush of skaters, business has fallen off during public skating hours, with the ice sometimes devoid of customers.
Rink officials say they're bringing in less than a third of the $35,000 in monthly operating expenses, but they insist the rink is in no danger of permanently closing. However, it will shut down in April for the summer – as planned. The rink's chief says it will reopen after the State Fair. We'll see about that ...
