Is it too late to combine a convention centre and an enclosed stadium (not a dome, more like the Lucas Oil Stadium idea on a smaller scale). This would provide a use for the stadium when there are no concerts or sporting activities. A football field would provide 90,000 square feet of floor space for convention exhibits. I remember that the floor space of the Nova Centre was to be 60,000 square feet. Convention halls tend to be very spartan in design so it seems like a natural fit. After all, that is the way the Metro Centre was designed; for use as both an arena and convention exhibit hall.
