Power & Light District

Cha-Ching! P&L cashes in as Big 12 weekend ends

Power & Light businesses were seeing green days before St. Paddy's. As FOX 4's Dave Dunn reports, cash and booze were flowing freely downtown:

"We're all collectively high-fiving down here," Brian Phillips, McFadden's Sports Saloon, said.

McFadden's was first to open in the Power & Light District last fall. Phillips said business from the tournament exceeded expectations for all 14 bars and restaurants that opened for Big 12 weekend.
