Need the arena and a convention centre DTK... simple

I am so, so tired of people thinking that convention centres are a magical solution to downtown revitalization. They really aren't. All of the NZ cities got on that train and built new convention centres recently (Wellington, Christchurch). A booming downtown economy has not ensued.

Indeed, I think that something like a climbing gym is far more likely to have positive effects on urban life than a convention centre.
