Article: Cleveland State University, Wolstein Center get assist from Cleveland Cavaliers with partnership

After just talking about the Wolstein building because of the Sam Smith show - it turns out they’re going to be getting some help from the Q!

"The partnership also includes the Cavs taking over the bookings of the Wolstein Center for concerts, shows and other non-university events, plus using their powerful marketing arm to cross-promote Cleveland State basketball games.

Cleveland State president Ronald M. Berkman said the Wolstein Center is a “great” facility, but one that has had attendance problems because of a lack of resources.

“We don’t have the knowledge, we don’t have the horsepower, we don’t have the expertise to really maximize the potential of what I think is really a great downtown venue for Cleveland — an arena that seats over 14,000, and divides up nicely into an 8,000- and a 4,000-seat venue,” Berkman said.

Len Komoroski, the CEO of the Cavs and The Q, stressed that this is the type of deal that has the potential to “lift all boats” when it comes to luring more visitors downtown."
