prediction time!

1. nimbys and environmentalists tangle this one up for years and it's never built.
2. the basketball team will stupidly try to score a big parking structure, earning them enemies from various sides among folks they should be working hard to mollify.
3. shooting for a crazy location like this instead of piggy-backing on the giants plans is going to require a completely visionary design and urban plan in order to get significant political buy-in, which it won't be.

you read it here first. no way this thing succeeds without crazy attention to the critics, a visionary design, and zero parking entitlements. which is something that no non-insane basketball ownership team would want to subject themselves to.
