No, that's not correct. The primary purpose of the roof was so that the stadium could be used as convention space, thus not taking any square footage away from the convention center. There is no way that the City Council is letting anyone put a baseball stadium on that site. They want an event center for conventions/concerts/major sporting events. That's it.
