I mean, its an MLB stadium - so about 20K folks for a game, big games or weekend games would push closer to 50K. Its easily something downtown can absorb as it absorbs much more than that on a typical non-covid workday.

Hell, its probably not far off how many people are downtown to party on the weekends and obviously a fraction of what UT football does.

I think the issue will be more that the land its on is super valuable *and* the Domain is the center of the population of the metro area. I also don't mind the Domain/North Burnet turning into an area with sporting events and mixed use development. Especially if we get a lot of walkable land around the stadium like we're going to get once Verde Square is up and going.

Anyway this is all off-topic. I am *extremely* excited for the South Shore development. It will hopefully bring good street use and pedestrian access that can work as an extension of SoCo and downtown and spur a lot of infill development between the heart of SoCo and make it more walkable to downtown especially with light-rail coming in.
