Not really sure what you mean by "champion".
But yea, I'd gladly pay to go to the top and get a great view of the city. It'll give a different perspective of the city from that view rather than the Ren Cen. As to whether or not it would cost a lot of money to operate, I'm not sure how so. You're gonna have 3 or 4 security guards making $9 an hour and that's you main blockade to this happening? I doubt it. They'll put up a steel cage like the Empire State Building or a glass facade so nobody jumps, and away we go. And what "maintenance" does an outdoor observation deck need? A good powerwash once a year? A guy to sweep it at night once it's closed? Yes, extra insurance costs would be in this, but "wear and tear" on the elevator? Gimmie a break. Normal maintanance on the elevators should be just fine. It's a minimal cost attraction for people willing to fork over $10-$15 bucks for a thrill. And I doubt it'd be open 24 hours a day. If you did it Thurs-Sun from 6pm-midnight, that would be more than enough I'm sure.
