This whole story started when someone got a call that the COI show that had been scheduled for the Verizon Center had been cancelled and not rescheduled. Apparently COI has played at the Verizon Center forever and it was not a good sign (to this person who got the call) that the show had been cancelled. Of course given the poor attendence in the past few years, it is possible COI is looking at smaller venues for it's shows and not the major arenas. That could explain why the date announced last year for the New Jersey show is still not booked at the Izod (Continental) arena. Other rumor has COI merging with SOI. I guess we'll have to wait and see but it will be a shame if the show is canceled as it is a great source of income for many of the skaters.
