It is right by the interstate (see bottom right of photo), and more or less an island unto itself. Not saying it would be the exact same at Berkeley, but the Philly one is a weird vibe. But close to IKEA and multiple strip clubs! (Though you do have to cross under the interstate).

Have you ever been inside or just judging it based off driving by it?

I used Philly as an example due to its size and this parcel size. Its location in Philly is basically a concrete island as it’s located amongst a massive multi stadium district. I can’t imagine anything being built here that doesn’t properly blend into the surrounding area nicely.

Once again, probably a bad idea on my part and this area will be residential and some basic retail, sportsbook, bar and restaurant type vibe.

once the stadium is up and running, Jenkins said he hopes to "book everything we can," such as other athletic and entertainment events, to keep the venue busy on non-Current game days.

Also really need to find a way to extend the trails from Berkley to something. It's not connected to anything.

Connecting to cliff drive will be a huge improvement

Connecting to Cliff Drive would be awesome. But, how would this be accomplished? The new connector from Columbus Park to Cliff Drive (under I-35), while relatively close distance-wise to a proposed Lydia Ave connection from Berkley, is across the RR tracks and fairly inaccessible. One would have to travel up the Industrial Trafficway and backtrack over thru Columbus Park...unless I'm missing something?

Officials also value engineered the project before seeking the best and final offers, clarifying what Jarrold said were ambiguous areas in the project's scope while also modifying several design aspects. These included reducing new sidewalks, switching some remote control systems to manual, changing from a concrete slab to ballast to hold some track and shifting an overhead shelter at streetcar stops to a bid alternate
