location isn't great... i always like large sporting venues to be downtown. glad to hear that surrounding development will follow, though.

Yea, that was one of his. As much as people would like to believe otherwise, Langford did a few good things while he was mayor. While progress has been slow, it seems like Five Points West is starting to show a bit of potential as developers have started to look around the Crossplex for hotel and retail space.
He also had some good ideas, and made a bit of progress, in regards to charging men in the most impoverished communities with taking pride and responsibility for their neighborhoods to reduce crime.
