That is what kinda made me think of considering that block for the arena site instead of the one just to the East like prairieguy suggested.
I also see the benefit of a south downtown site rather than north of 22nd, and as for the Toys'R'Us site I can't really see much desire for any residential or mixed use, and little commercial directly adjacent to the freeway there, so maybe an arena and mixed use civic facility would be a better usage for that particular site than anything else.
The block that currently houses the YMCA at 22nd & Idylwyld also seems like an easy place to visualize such a facility, but I'm not sure if the Y still has any plans to vacate anytime in the future.
