Quote:My guess is that the covered stadium idea has been replaced by this Amphitheater-Practice Field deal.  I can't see them doing both, for logistical and economical reasons.  Next phase will probably be the shipyard renovations Khan has proposed.  \

 

I would have preferred a covered stadium and a stand-a-lone indoor practice facility nearby, but not attached, and no amphitheater.  

 

Of course if you don't build it right, and with some of the storms we have, there is always a risk of this:

I think the covered stadium was more of a dream scenario than anything. The covered practice field is something the team has needed for 20 years. The ampitheater is really an additional revenue stream for the team and city. 

 

In terms of next steps, my guess is not the shipyards. But rather Metro Park. The stage there was useless anyway and has been condemned. With the ampitheater being built, Metro Park has almost no value as a concert venue. I think we will see some development there.
