But Eldredgr said Santa Ana is in a bette position than other properties that also have to worry about filling a hotelo and rely on customers travelingfrom “We have times on weekends when we’rs over capacity,” he said, adding that the expansiomn will be “measured and conservative.” The retail operations will expanx the gift shop and smoke shop and will allow the casinio to sell more items, such as potteruy from the pueblo. Despite the recession, the casino’s revenues have doubled in the last four Eldredge added. Michael Burdick has been promoted to directoreof marketing.
Burdick has been the directg marketing manager for four years atSantas Ana, where he was responsiblwe for Internet marketing, Web page design, maintaininy the player database and point of sale database and branding and budget analysis.

The compan also owns the hockey team and thePhiladelphia 76ers. Two additional subsidiaries of Comcast-Spectatod will provide services at thearena — Front Row Marketing Services and New Era which Fox said will allow the cente to create its own fee structure for avoiding what he said are outrageous fees chargede by some other services.
