Something tells me in the next year or two, it will slowly move back up and I'd hate to give up the land for a stadium when it might be more important for the port. That being said, it might be a good location to consider.
On a more serious note, you can't fit super post panamax ships under the bridges... so we have one terminal, Halterm, that is served by trucks driving down our 250 year old street grid at rush hour and a single train that runs in an out once a day, that can take the new generations, and Ceres, which has much better road and rail connections, but can't. Sigh.
