Re(3): #80 - How 'dead' are the dead frontons?

This real estate ad (link below) for the fronton is contradictory. The listing notes the amount of seats, concession stands, and 170' x 58' "stage", but at the end of the listing it stated "The building has been gutted and made ready for new interior construction, a new roof was completed in 2001." I have a friend that reviews the legalities of all contracts for Palm Beach County. I'll ask him if he knows anyone that may be familiar with the condition of the building. Not that it matters though, as the license is owned by the Rooney family. They had once mentioned that if slots were possible, they'd consider building a new fronton next to their dog track (that was back in 1998).
