An arena AND a mall?

[Scottathew]

The problem I have with a mall is we need to get away from self-contained, campus-like developments.

We need to have development plug into what's going on downtown, not create it's own little bubble that it lives inside.

The whole idea is rather selfish. He wants to use a taxpayer loan to build something and then contain all the prosperity within his walls, and not let it spill out into downtown streets.
