Atlanta is the only comparable stadium. Stop trying to throw out comparisons or sizes of obsolete designs.
To fit the ATL stadium (730ft x 770ft) into the jail site it would have to be oriented to the north and would require some sort of decking over the highway (for a pedestrian plaza, not the actual stadium). Target Field is shoehorned into a 600ft by 750ft space which would absolutely fit in the jail site. A stadium here would be a tight fit, but I saw enough strange sizes on stadiums to feel like it's not something that couldn't be dealt with.
From East to West (Oak to Holmes) the jail site is approx 925ft, from North to South on Oak 13th to 14th terrace its approx 620ft (650ft if you build over 14th terrace). After the Long Lines building you get another 120 feet of North South space that diminishes as you head east.
Here's Petco Park, which is approx 730ft x 730 ft, overlayed onto the jail site. It fits pretty comfortably. The scale on google maps is not 100% exact for the KC and San Diego visuals, but I tried to get the scale as close to the same for each.
Can you explain why it the comparison has to be the ATL stadium (built in 2017)? Target Field is from 2010 and Petco is from 2004, why are they considered obsolete?
