The project should be larger, though. Maxbell would be across the way, and it is just down the road from the very nicely developing International Avenue (Barlow South becomes 17th Ave). Views would be fantastic.
McMahon's current location could have both also, especially if you include the field off to the South as part of the redevelopment plan. Remember that motel village is being re-done, and maybe they can repatriate the stadium nissan location for something. Am I mistaken of is foothills athletic park also being re-developed? Certainly that train station needs some more work.

Motel rooms aside there aren't service around McMahon to support a huge stadium complex, nor is there room to develop. McMahon already suffers from NIMBYism from the communities surrounding it. Add the influx of traffic from the arena and special events and those folks are going to be right PISSED!
