Put it on a city block surrounded by some decent density buildings. Make it walking distance from most of the hotels and offices so people can walk to the game and grab a bite to eat after. Make it to where you can sit anywhere in the stadium and be able to feel like you're actually downtown, not on the east side of 37.

No such place exist. The city blocks in DT are all too small, only those out of the central loop are big enough (except for the current SAPD lot, which the Fed Courthouse has dibs on, and Pioneer lot, which would never happen.) If they are not in the central loop, you have no choice but to be in "crappy" neighborhoods, and east or west of DT would give you train tracks and bridges as a backdrop; the VIA lot north of town, gives you the skyline, but not density (yet.)
It's minor league.... would a field DT be better than Wolff Stadium and a new field near 1604? Yes. Even if the field is not in the "best" location? Still yes.
