The tower in the renderings is 1200'- take about 10 stories from the top and you've got the current proposal
An arena on the waterfront is excellent for so many reasons:
it's within walking distance to BART, the Transbay Transit Center, MUNI metro, and easily accessible from CalTrain. No other arena in the Bay Area has this much "rapid" transit access.
Concerts and large events can now be local instead of having to plan ahead and have to deal with getting to and from Oakland and San Jose. The added revenue for the city from San Franciscans currently being spent in these other cities is an additional boon.
We lose a professional sports team, but gain a new one.
It puts to use a dilapidated pier and adds more foot traffic to a rather blighted, vacant area.
