-was expecting the arena to seat more
-was expecting to hear more on the infrastructure/road/transportation side of things (KK says LRT will be the primary method of transport. well, not sure how that's going to work, we currently have LRT + massive car parking and both are still freaking nuts after a game)
-clean up and who's paying the bill etc.
-infrastructure/roads who's paying the bill etc.



So while I'm as excited as you guys for moving forward with something we do need, and I support a 'large sports area' rather than a 'distributed buildings setup'....But I think the 'vitirol' is more like 'legitimate concerns' as there should be from all of us.
Any new stadiums will always seat less, not more. More leg room, more direct to seat sales/service. Providing greater amenities and services to less patrons to maximize revenue.
