5 million passengers?

Art Thomason seems to think that there is a lot in the name.

It would be nice if these people were coming in to Mesa to spend money and help boost the economy. Its more likely they'll drive into Phoenix and Scottsdale just like everyone else. I am glad we got that name change going on, but what about traffic?

The airport is the economic engine of the future and a simple name change is not going to be the be all end all solution to help us out. It needs to be an employment center as well as a passenger location. I love the comment by Chris4576:
