I'd tend to agree because the proposal also includes 5000 condos, 2 million sq ft of office (equal to 1/7th of downtown San Diego), and 750k sq ft of retail (equal to a large shopping mall).

Ah, so it's like the Brooklyn Nets' Atlantic Yards project, where the arena was pretty much a loss leader included to get the profitable parts of the real estate project approved by the powers-that-be.
