This is way too similar to something that already exists (~275 miles to the north) - not original.
I do, however, like the idea of some sort of "entertainment" district. But, don't copy the Fort Worth Stockyards.

These guys are definitely basing their idea on the Ft. Worth stockyards too much. San Antonio could do something similar but with an emphasis on its own history. San Antonio has a unique and celebrated heritage of being a cultural meeting point for food and music, going back over a century. This place could showcase that, not just square dancing and chuck wagons. Have ranchera music and polkas. Have vaqueros and charreadas. Have chili queens. Have German beer gardens. Move the Buckhorn and Texas Ranger museum to the site. Relocate the industrial businesses from the Union Stockyards and build it there. San Pedro Creek goes right next to the site, as well. It could be pretty cool.
