I agree the coliseum is too significant to tear down. Adding new real estate won't revitalize the area south of the grounds any more than using the coliseum as an event center would. What I would propose would be turning the building into an event center to host concerts and conventions. Renovate the place to make it desirable for high profile events. I know we have event centers in phx, but we dont have many great places that can host 10,000 people. Anything east of Glendale big enough to seat 10,000 indoors doesn't have very good sound equipment. Just an idea.
