Show Notes: Tampa Bay Times: "Organizers tried to move it and reschedule it, but it seems a planned Dec. 2 show by Green Day will not come to the area, following a decision by officials at the state Department of Agriculture to ban the concert from Florida Expo Hall. Originally scheduled for the 12,000-capacity Expo Hall in Tampa, the concert was scratched last week by state officials _ who claimed the punk trio's last appearance in September 1994 brought more than $28,000 in damages to the venue. Negotiations aimed at moving the show to nearby Lakeland Civic Center had all but fallen apart Thursday, according to area promoter Dave Hundley. "Right now, it looks like the band is more willing to add a show to an already sold-out date in Fort Lauderdale," said Hundley, whose locally based No Clubs Presents company planned to promote the bay area concert. According to state officials, the price of doing business with Green Day last year proved too high. "The Florida State Fair is not in the business of bringing in events that have a likely potential for disruption and damage," said Terry McElroy, spokesman for the Department of Agriculture. Most of the hall's hefty repair bill came from fixing damage to bleachers erected for the show, said Fred Brown, director of operations at the Florida Expo Park fairgrounds site. Though the band forked over about $20,000 for repairs, the Fair Authority still paid the remaining costs, McElroy said. "There was also some damage done to the restrooms _ towel dispensers and doors ripped off the walls _ kids just getting carried away," said Brown, who noted the problems were the most extensive he has seen at any recent Expo Hall show. McElroy denied state officials were cracking down on concerts by punk bands and cutting-edge acts at Expo Hall, saying the Department of Agriculture and the Fair Authority have made no unilateral decisions about what kinds of artists will appear there.""
