You could build it south of Butler along the Intercoastal.  Closer to the Beach and established nightlife. That could be developed from scratch and wouldn't have to end up as a 'boring, generic suburb'.  We always talk about 'blowing up the team and starting from scratch', and when they don't, people go ballistic.  Why is the stadium any different?  It's an extension of the team. Spending good money after bad. And by the way, as someone who worked downtown for 30 years, there's nothing particularly exciting about downtown.

While your points are salient, I just disagree with bunting down the 3rd base line when we could swing for the fences on revitalization. 

It's personal preference about urban core vitality and I know many don't value it like I do. 

I feel it's necessary for the city to realize its potential.
