The distance between light rail and the new arena would be several blocks more than the distance that exsits right now, and the path would include some darker, lonelier blocks. For that reason, I'd bet against a new arena at the railroad yard. I think it's more likely that a multi-faceted land deal might be used to fund a new arena on the current site of the convention center's south building.

I don't know why they'd build a new stadium instead of just putting it in the same spot or remodeling what they got.
