I've heard the same thing, however I won't be surprised if they are weekday and morning / early afternoon only tournaments. Tournaments are fun for players but an even smaller amount of $ for the already least profitable amount of floor space on a casino floor.
I'm looking forward to them, in fact I'm planning on going to MSPD Monday morning to play the turbo event, but I also understand how a business runs and it would be silly to try and even run sng's on a Thursday / Friday night or anytime on the weekend when 85-95% or more of the tables are filled and interest lists for other games continue to go on. Even reading some of the other PA poker venue threads where some are doing freeroll tourney's, people complain.
My 2 pennies, they will be popular when they first start, just like the poker room was, then fizzle away for a while.
