With the backdrop of the city behind it, it could be one of the most iconic and intimate stadiums in the country, kind of the Austin way.
I agree. An outdoor stadium would be great in that location. I even like the arena in Detroit with retail, etc. though it would be a horrible idea for COA and UT to collaborate on this. UT needs their arena on campus grounds while Austin can have its own stadium/arena at South Shore. I feel strongly about separating UT and Austin and I think even small cities should never combine college and city affairs.
