I'm sure the NCC isn't happy but I doubt they're going to do anything about it at this point
Interesting theory. But how would the NCC allow them to drop the arena? The basic deal is the developer gets some prime land and in return builds something various levels of government want but aren't willing to pay for, at least transparently. If you drop the nationally significant... you can't get to keep the land.
