Does anyone know if the 15 theaters are going to be the cool stadium style like the Regal in Brooklyn Center or the Showplace in Coon Rapids? If not, I have a hard time seeing how they will succeed. If you are going to drop 8 bucks to see a movie, you ought to be seeing it in the stadium style theaters. More and more of them are showing up in the Metro and I would imagine that Minneapolis would have a hard time attracting people downtown for a movie if the seats are as close together as the Mall Of America ones are. Those stadium seating theaters are in Coon Rapids, Eagan, Brooklyn Center and I believe there is one in either Saint Louis Park or Plymouth. I live in Minneapolis, but I would drive to either Coon Rapids or Brooklyn Center to see a movie if the price was the same and the seating is much more spacious in the suburbs.
