If you're going to partner with a city to build a new stadium, THIS is how you do it. You don't just build a homage to your team with public funds. You mix your own funds with other public and private funding and transform a whole section of the city.

The plan here is not just to build a stadium and "hope" that other development occurs at random. The plan is to build the stadium and transform the areas around the stadium as part of the overall construction plan. This will include a plan to build new living spaces, retail, office spaces and eateries.
THIS is cool!
