In the event of the stadium being a go and Ave of Angels going into effect, I'd imagine AEG would try and buy the site for one of their tower proposals. With Ave of Angels going up, there'd be dozens of nightclubs along the ave. You can walk from LA Live, to Figat7th in just 10-15 minutes, and if you're walking from the metropolis site, it cuts the walk in half. No need for another mall when there's one being built within walking distance. =]
