The red line is a Trinity bridge. The blue line is just an extension of the road connecting Congress to the new Trinity extension through the site. The green box is a parking garage. That could be done partially undgerground with a few above ground levels. That would allow for some MU above. The orange box is for MU development.

A spot like that on the river deserves an open air stadium with gorgeous city views. If the city council thinks smart, and encourages investment in a beautiful high tech stadium with potential investors toward MLS, retractable roof, that can hold 20-25,000 people for games and close up to hold 18-20,000 intimately for shows. With the backdrop of the city behind it, it could be one of the most iconic and intimate stadiums in the country, kind of the Austin way.
