As much entertainment as can be fit in the stadium complex the better. I just hope that the developments stay true to the city's grid. What I'd really like to see is more development adjacent to the subway. That sports complex subway stop is not really that close to the actual stadiums and the walk itself - through a sea of parking lots - is not very pleasant. You get out of the subway stop and it's just completely barren.

Two other thoughts:

The hotel portion - is it going to be built right away? Outside of major gambling destinations, the hotel portion of a casino is not viable (wasn't SugarHouse supposed to have a sleek hotel tower? LOL). But in this case, there was a hotel already on site that I'm assuming did enough business to warrant its replacement.

On that note, I wonder if visiting sports teams or musicians ever stay at that Holiday Inn? And would sports teams stay here if the hotel is attached to a slots barn?
