Honestly, the old Schneider's plant location would have been great. It's 2 blocks away from the Mill St LRT stop, there are a couple bus lines that go right past it, and it's just a few minutes off the highway. It's a 27-acre property, so tons of space for a full-size arena, the smaller twin ice pads, a parking garage, and still have outdoor space for some basketball courts and a skatepark and a few residential towers with restaurants on the main floor that Aud visitors could patronize. (Don't get me wrong, we need all the homes that will be going into this property, but it was a massive single lot that we theoretically could have taken advantage of, and didn't).
