As far as downtown, let's not get too full of ourselves.

We still have to deal with:
-no decent mass transit.
-high vacancy rates in the Class A office space.
-a massive debt load on the Entertainment District that unless the retail meets projections, will have to be heavily subsidized by the city.
-a lagging convention business.
-no tenant for the Arena.
-a Performing Arts Center plan that is heavily short of funds.
-sewers that are obsolete.

A downtown stadium wouldn't have cured all those ills, but it would have helped create better mass transit, helped the retail district and helped the Class A office space.

Fuck.
