Hello,
I am new to the forums though I've been reading through the boards for a while. It's great to see that the Westin and entertainment district have finally broken ground. Let's hope everything goes smoothly.
Possible Powell Ave Steam Plant Redevelopment

I noticed there was an article in the Business Journal about possible redevelopment of the Powell Ave steam plant which sits adjacent to Railroad park. I think the article mentioned it could possibly be a community center. It's great to see the influence the park is having already.
Possible Improvements to Legion Field

Also, there was an article in the news today about possible improvements to Legion Field. I think it is a good short term solution as long as they are very efficient with any funds they put in. I recently went to the BBVA bowl and was disappointed at how outdated it seemed. They didn't even have replays. I also heard there were complaints about the concessions and service which seem like they could be easy fixes.
