Whether it's the Frank Erwin Center's replacement or to lure a PRO sports franchise to Austin.
Otherwise, Mueller could be an ideal location assuming there's enough room. The neighborhoods in and around Mueller probably wouldn't like it though.
I've always though the southeast intersection of highways 290 and 183 would be good for a sports arena or stadium as well. |
I still think the Erwin Center replacement needs to be on campus. A large city arena on the Statesman site would be nice if it DID lure Pro sports and was mixed use with retail, etc. Otherwise, I think a continuation of the South Shore vision would be best for the site. Also, I always thought the land around 71 and 130 would be great for a stadium. There is great infrastructure, an airport , and COTA nearby. And no nimbys to complain about it.
