Do you know the size of Boise Downtown Blocks? I don't recall them to be particularly large, but it's been a while. It would be helpful to know what kind of space is still available, if one or both of the streets were punched through. Visually, they look big enough to still have an amphitheatre. There are lots of options, such as: one street could be dug down and sort of tunneled, in order to maintain a large above-ground flat surface to work with.

BTW, your castle/moat comparison sums it up well.
