It doesn't have to be quite as big a footprint as FEC. Those 4 blocks include all the concrete around the arena. They don't have to build another round arena that has all of that area around it. It could be rectangle and have a smaller footprint.
The AT&T Center in San Antonio is roughly the same footprint as the actual FEC (not the surrounding area), and that includes the superfluous awnings and whatnot on either side of the AT&T Center. Not to mention it holds over 18,000, almost 2k more than FEC.
