If this exploritory "idea" comes to fruition, parking will weigh heavily on the final site location.
I agree. A location like 8th-10th and Trinity-Red River would be close enough to the current state parking garages for a casual walk. There might even be enough room along Waterloo Park. That whole section of downtown is so depressed right now that a new arena would be great!

I could really see a LEED certified "Whole Foods Garden Arena" built with a green roof and flagship Pluckers, Maudies, HomeSlice, and Hopdaddy's serving as ground floor retail.
