Questions accuracy of Sunday News CC event count

In today's Sunday News (November 23, 2008), at the bottom of page D-2 (Business) under "Briefly", the following statement is published:

"Interstate Hotels and Resorts, the company managing the center and the adjoining Marriott Lancaster at Penn Square hotel, said it has more than 90 commitments for conventions, meetings, and other functions at the new center."

[This wasn't mentioned once at recent LCCCA meetings.]

I'm wondering if this number includes the hotel, as well as the convention center. Years ago, there was a lot of talk that Interstate Hotels - which was forced upon the LCCCA by Dale High - would steer smaller events to the hotel side of the business.

I also question whether that statement is correct.

Can anyone else shed any light on that published report?
