Why? I know you keep saying it's impossible, but the space is very clearly there for an arena the same size as Budweiser Gardens in London, which is all I think we honestly need. If you take measurements of just the Budweiser Gardens building, it would fit on the existing terminal property if you include the small city parking lot. If we really needed more space, 44 Gaukel could be demolished (apparently the building may need to be in any event due to its age) and I also think you could build over Joseph St. (i.e. just remove Joseph except for a bike/pedestrian path) since that section sees very little traffic anyway. I'm *not* saying this is absolutely the best location for a new arena, but I think it's quite feasible despite what you say. Yes, we would need to figure out parking, but there's a nearly empty garage at Benton/Charles which is less than a 2min walk away.
