Isn't there some kind of pro-am or preview thing on Wednesday every year? If they still do that, it would attract a few folks.
Since AT&T is a new sponsor this year, maybe some people in the gallery will be company vendors or friends-of-the-company.

I didn't understand it myself. It was kind of "look at me, look at me, I have more signs than the other malls". With most malls, you see signs for the anchors and the mall itself, and that's it. I guess the addition of the Hyatt will make it stand out in a different way now.
