The flames are teasing the idea of building a multi-sport facility that could run close to a billion dollars. Surely the cleanup cost would have been A) Insured and B) an amount not approaching a billion dollar sum.
I don't see what bearing the flood has at all on the proposal for new construction that apparently has been planned since before the flooding. Maybe the flood forced some adjustments to the design, but again, it's almost 2015.
