Yeah, let's build it where there's no room, brutal costs and no roadways to get in or out. 
Firepark might not suit you..but it is a better spot for a project this size, way cheaper and it is only 5 minutes from downtown, hotels/restaurants could go up with ease and they could service airport traffic as well. Revitalization shouldn't begin and end with the downtown core.
But by all means support the turd that Ken King wants. |

I agree with T@T here. Firepark itself is actually a good site for something like this. Make TOD opportunity and fits all the access criteria along with still being a central location. However, the area would always be business centric, meaning there wouldn't be much of pedestrian life activity around it at all times. The West Village location has much more potential and is more suited for this type of project.
Besides, that's gonna be the location of the future +65,000 NFL stadium.
