      • The nostalgia can only keep a relatively boring experience in business for so long. The world has moved on. Sears and Macy's are going the same way because they can't adapt to the world of Amazon.

        The same is true for coal. The world has moved on. Trump still wants to Make Coal Burn Again!

      • I saw the show a couple years ago. It was ok. The problem is there are better ways to spend your entertainment dollar. Feld Entertainment, who also runs the much more entertaining Disney on Ice shows probably doesn't make much money from the circus shows.

        This article is depressing. The circus is closing as kids don't have the attention span to sit still to watch a show without elephants (animal rights people).
        I went a few years ago and it seemed remarkably slow moving.

        Of course, me being a kid of nearly 60 probably played into that.

      • Cirque de Soleil and the Big Apple Circus are both thriving. Not only is there a greater variety of acts but the action is much much closer to the audience (like literally right on top of you). Plus Las Vegas still has its animal acts. Ringling Brothers was an antiquated model of a circus.

      • I have never actually seen the B&B circus, but their circus train was cool as hell. We used to go down and party with some people we knew on it every time it came to Atlanta. They parked (or whatever is the correct rail term) underneath the Omni. Good times!

      • I would say it is about time. I went to the circus once in the seventies - I'm 58 now - and it was archaic and outdated even then as entertainment. Put a few artifacts in a history museum where they belong.
