Ross was hired in 1987 to guide the building through its grand opening and beyond. The 7,000 seat Show Me Center is a cooperative venture between SEMO and the City of Cape Girardeau. Ross says it's time to hand the reins over to someone else for the next 25-years. He says 25 years is a long time for a management team to be in place and it's time for some fresh ideas.
