I'm a fan of the Forum/Post Office/ Bragg site as an entertainment district inclusive of a stadium, arena and performance venues. This location has decent roadways on/off the peninsula, Robie BRT route and perhaps eventually LRT, and it is walking distance to/from most anywhere on the peninsula (for those who like to walk). I see no other appropriate site on the peninsula. My second choice would be Woodside area.

I don't see it cutting off the north end at all if done right. I see as bringing it together even more with a large event complex in the middle. I mean what's there now, the Trade Mart building is worse than what a new arena would be there.
