A closer look
The tiny, depressing chain-link pen where attendees are shoved to use their nicotine products isn't provided out of corporate courtesy. Organizers absolutely despise giving up valuable square footage for a non-revenue-generating activity. However, local ordinances strictly forbid mass gatherings without designated, adequately ventilated zones for smokers to prevent mass fire hazards and indoor air quality violations. It is a forced compromise drafted entirely by city bureaucrats.
