I'll have to see renderings before I can make a judgement, but I'm not sure I'm a fan of the jumbotron idea. Is it going to be plastered with ads when there's not an event? Seems inevitable.

The relative lack of huge billboards and corporate advertising helps gives downtown the independent, personal vibe that it has. That's a huge asset to our city. Showy, Vegas-style billboard advertising is a poor fit, and will undermine what makes downtown a nice place to be.
