Agreed that they are a decade away, largely disagree on the prospect of moving the arena to an East Side suburb.
We've seen firsthand the economic hit a city like Atlanta is going to take due to the relocation of their stadium. This city is doing everything they can to revive what was a very depleted and economically fractured downtown. You fix it by giving a people a reason to go there (they've done a great job of improving this, by the way), not by taking venues away.
The Q is vital to garnering downtown traffic, especially in the dead of winter.
Not at all what I meant. I meant east side of Cleveland proper. Like around the CSU area maybe, or down a way closer to the Clinic. That's really just an alternative suggestion to staying downtown anyways. I like the idea of having everything downtown, but I feel like The Q/Progressive Field serve as boundaries... Stuff beyond Carnegie and Ontario is not good.
