The whole premise of revitalizing downtown is the center of my issue with the ballpark.

It's a stupid idea. Why would any city want to revitalize a section of the city that everyone has essentially moved out of?

It's a " flip this house" trap.

What is going on here is investors buying up property that is almost worthless and convincing others to invest in it only to sell it when they think they can make a profit.

There is a reason why the majority of this city is moving into the suburbs.........because they want new houses, new streets, and new amenities. What makes the most sense is to build things such as stadiums in areas where this is happening. East Side or West side.

Let's get real here. People who live on the West side or East side will think twice about going downtown to watch a ball game and even if they do make the trip, they will likely go back to their part of town to eat and party. No one wants to have to drive home from downtown after a couple of drinks.
