Not at all true. The only thing is parking, but it's hard to consider that too much of a stumbling block when their new proposal doesn't include any.
Of course there are some other minor issues here and there, but no more than would be expected from two major events facilities located in uber-close proximity.

This. Wonder how they roped Brett Wilson into pumping the project's tires in crappy youtube videos right away? (Hint - he's involved in real estate). It's a lot like building a ski resort - the resort operation may or may not break even, but the real-estate around it makes the big money.
