The problem with relocating a basketball arena in downtown is it would need 4 blocks. The Erwin Center is huge. It's the 2nd largest building in downtown footprint wise. Only the convention center is larger, which covers 6 blocks.

I would put a new basketball arena on the land just south of the DKR Stadium. It would move it closer to campus and would centralize the sports complex. Of course they would need to move the School of Social Work, the Recreational Sports Center and maybe the swim center. Plus it would be nice to get rid of those parking lots.
