One of the main venues that Evansville lacks is an indoor waterpark resort. The closest waterpark resort is Big Splash Adventure WaterPark Resort in French Lick, Indiana. With an indoor waterpark resort, part of Roberts Stadium would be a hotel, part would be an indoor pool(s), and part would be changing and dressing rooms.
In my opinion, Roberts Stadium is a perfect fit for an indoor waterpark. Why? Because it already has changing/dressing rooms, it already has an open middle for pools, slides, and a lazy river, and it already has plenty of room to build hotel rooms.
Plus, an indoor waterpark resort would fit in perfectly with Swonder Ice Rink, and Wesselman Park as an affordable, active, and natural form of entertainment. Its hotel would allow those who want to take a nature hike through Wesselman Park or go ice skating for the day to spend the night next door.
Funding could come from the hotel/motel tax because it would do what the goal of the tax is: Increase Tourism.
