I think a downtown baseball stadium would be great for downtown because it gives downtown residents something to do. A downtown would spur residential development and that was made apparent by graham. They build the stadium, he helps build the residential around it.

Just like LoDo in Denver had a residential boom because of their baseball and football stadiums, so could a missions/MLB adaptable staidum if built behind fox tech.

And graham is doing the startup village regardless of a stadium. So why not also a stadium.

Imagine living downtown and catching the streetcar from the pearl to Southtown and pregaming then hitting the streetcar and going to a game.

That's the type of urban activity that sells a Urban area/downtown.
