Also, both the Planetarium and Armoury are historic buildings which are unlikely to be touched by any future development, especially the Armoury. The Planetarium may not be protected as strongly since it's been effectively replaced by the Spark, but there isn't really room to build anything significant on the Planetarium land.

The only part of the "Mewata" land that would be big enough for an arena is right where the skate park currently sits. Even then, it would be a tight fit between the Armoury and the C-Train.



The only space in that area that makes any sense is the land west of 14th Street, but if they're seriously looking at that land, we'll be lucky if they're playing in a new building by the end of the decade.

I do like the idea of building the two buildings together and making it a year-round destination area.
