Although personally, I wish the Phils had built on Spring Garden like they wanted to and the Linc had 10,000 more seats, but that's neither here nor there.

I agree on the saturation. And I don't know what niche this one will be able to corner. Sugarhouse already expanded and includes a small venue for stand-up acts and what not. Parx and Harrah's have racing. If anything I don't see KOP and Harrah's faring well in the next 5-10 years.
Regarding the area by the Sports Complex. Many of the buildings east of the complex are part of the port complex, specifically for fresh produce. Considering the Philadelphia port has created a niche for handling produce, I don't know if these buildings are going anywhere.
