Cleveland Mayor Ralph Perk has said he can produce up
to $3 million, but party sources said item for item the actual
services and facilities offered by each city were about equal.
THE KANSAS CITY edge appeared to be its ability to houseI
the large number of delegates, guests and news media workers
attracted to the huge nominating conventions.
Cleveland, although it had the better convention hall, was
handicapped by a lack of hotel space. It tried to make up the
difference by offering cruise ships and temporary modular homes
for hotel rooms.
Miami Beach had been considered a fall-back position in
case the two Midwestern bids fell through. The Florida resort
area has one of the country's best convention halls and ample
hotel accommodations.
HOWEVER, party sources indicated the GOP really wantedj
a convention somewhere in the Midwest more attuned to the
"Middle American" constituency than Miami Beach or New!
York City, where the Democrats will meet next July.
A Kansas City convention would be held in the Kemper
Sports Arena, home of the National Basketball Association Kings
and the National Hockey League's Scouts. i
The convention setup would be similar to Madison Square
Garden, where the Democrats will meet, with some of the same
problems of cramped quarters and lack of floor space.
SPILLOVER from the Kemper Arena would go to neighbor-
ing buildings, including a livestock-horse show arena. This
might include such things as caucus and meeting rooms, news
rooms and other support facilities.
Kansas City originally had gotten into the bidding on the basis
of a new convention center, now under construction, but this
will not be used because the summer completion date is too
close to count on for an August convention.
