Building an arena comparable to the Toyota Center in Houston we would need 4 whole blocks.
Also another problem with building it on those state parking lots/garages blocks is some of those are in capitol view corridors. Arenas can be pretty tall. The Frank Irwin Center is 106 feet tall and the Toyota Center in Houston is 107 feet tall.
Couldn't they put it in the area between San Jacinto, I-35, MLK and 20th 1/2 Street? They would have to demolish the School of Social Work building, which just a small 2-story building surrounded by a parking lot anyway. The arena would be replacing mostly a parking lot. It would also be just south of the stadium and east of the swim center.
