Hard pass. Why plant it outside the core next to a suburban shopping mall with little to no walkability.
That’d be similar to how Dallas planted the Cowboy stadium in Arlington, we know how that worked out for them-very car dependent. DFW metro area as a whole is a suburban nightmare to begin with. There could have been major investment in Downtown Dallas instead they dragged a major event space outside the core which only made sprawl worse up there. We can expand our convention center the right way but our city council likes to keep their feet in the sand.
People who attend conventions are mostly coming from another city and enjoy the convenience of walking/staying to nearby attractions and restaurants. Can easily stay Downtown and branch out to South Congress, East Side, etc.
