If he really does build a stadium with an entertainment district full of restaurants and bars around it, the tax revenue for Char/Meck will be worth whatever $$ the city puts into the project. The stadium in Glendale would be a good example to look towards.

Glendale?

That stadium is approaching 20-years old...

The whole area around that stadium is what they are talking about not the stadium it self. There is a complex next-door to Glendale that has Entertainment and food that would be near the size if Concord Mills mall. 

How much Arizona land is involved?

I can't judge but if you know the stadium area very well it would be everything around Cedar St towards 77 worth. 

Gotcha.

Think my question was poorly worded...

..."Glendale" was held out as an example of what could be, just wondered how much land was involved there?

Seems odd that a complex approaching 20yrs old as cited as something to emulate, seems like  they'll be hankering to tear that one down soon?

PantherCougar is correct, I was referencing the entertainment complex around the stadium as something I think Tepper wants to emulate. There are acres and acres of bars and restaurants around the stadium. The revenue from that would be endless for whoever owns the land and also for the tax collector. The stadium itself is still pretty sweet as well.

Probably looking at other stadium/mixed-use areas like the Braves stadium in Atlanta, where The Battery has seen some success of being able to draw people when games aren't happening.

Making an entertainment district around the stadium increases generic walkability scores (which are viewed positively by urban-planners), and can also provide for additional options pre- and post-game to help spread out the timing of vehicle traffic that tends to jam up the roads uptown for a few hours.

Wiki says 223 acres

👍

CP&F land site is only 55 acres.

Was reading up on the Glendale complex, looks like a fun place but they have had serious parking issues since the beginning because the city welched on a promise to provide 11,000 spots...

...11,000 parking spots would eat 45 acres alone.

Sure, if you're not building as a parking deck - if we're using the same math of 1 acre of land = 242 parking spaces.

Let's say for a parking deck, 1 acre could handle 150 parking spaces (giving add't clearance for ramps and support.  Let's make the parking deck 4 square acres (or 600 spaces per level).  That's just your everyday, normal 18 story parking structure.

More realistically, it'll probably be 10 acres -- making that 1,500 spaces per level, or a 10 story parking deck. Build some of that below ground vs above ground OR build more than one -- and it's not as terrible as it seems to look at.

it might be a pain to drive around in, but it could work given different configurations.

Disclaimer: "math"

A 10-acre/10-story parking deck --- wow, that would be something. 

Tailgating "below ground" doesn't sound like much fun...

      Charlotte Hornets Offseason Moves

      By jfra78 · Posted

      Bleacher Report trade and mock has us trading to 9 and picking SG Brayden Burries Charlotte Hornets recieve: Kyrie Irving and No. 9 pick Dallas Mavericks receive: LaMelo Ball, No. 14 pick and No. 18 pick The Hornets just finished their sixth season with Ball. It was only their second with a winning record, their sixth without a playoff trip and the sixth in which someone else paced them in win shares (Kon Knueppel this time around). While they'd surely like to keep building on their second-half momentum, maybe they're just unconvinced that Ball can lead a winning team. Maybe they credit that stretch run less to him and more to the addition of Knueppel, the ascension of Brandon Miller and some out-of-nowhere gains on the defensive end.   Charlotte should be dreaming big right now, and perhaps it believes a steadier hand at point guard is needed to realize that. Or maybe it feels it needs a little more time to bring everything together and thinks that task would be simpler without Ball's money on the books and with a top-10 pick in a loaded draft instead of two selections in the mid-teens.   Either way, this shakeup works. Short-term, a healthy Irving should be far easier to follow than Ball. You may not always know if Irving is playing, but you know what you'll get if he does: elite shotmaking, all-time handles, offensive ingenuity and the ability to work both on and off the ball. He could show this young roster what's required to win for a year or two (he has a $42.4 million player option for 2027-28) or even stick around longer if the partnership proves especially fruitful.   The Hornets also add a building block in Burries, who offers both plug-and-play polish and flashes of shot-creation that hint at star potential. In short, they could better their chances of winning both now and in the future while collecting both the best player in the trade and the highest draft pic

      Maybe? Maybe....?

      I'd hire him in a heartbeat. Hell if he wanted the job, I'd have Canales packing his poo right now and I don't dislike Canales. It's just that firing a 106-58 coach is crazy work. That's a 65% winning percentage. That's the equivalent of averaging 11 wins a season. That's incomprehensible for a fanbase That's never experienced back to back winning seaons.
