Innovation Portal was given an approval for its requested variance, so expect to see even more construction on St. Louis Street soon

Collaboration studio and office space; additionally, there will be a coffee shop as a tenant.

Looks like it will be an ugly building.

They need to take that thing back to the drawing board.

Here's the concept plans with baseball stadium.. I think a nice baseball stadium would do really well down there as opposed to the Hank. I'm just not sure it would bring in enough money to justify it. I'd definitely buy season tickets though, if it were built right.

I just don't know if I can get behind building a stadium. No sports team has ever done well here, so experimenting with such a large building that couldn't be converted into something else is a big risk IMO

I think the city does need a larger new indoor stadium but not for the purpose of having a minor league team though. The senior bowl and other higher profile bowl games could be played at a proposed downtown domed 45-50k stadium. Ladd's location is outdated. A modern version of the Carrier Dome would be perfect.

yeah i just don't think it's worth it right now. I do think the bad sports town narrative is directly tied to bad sports venues but I'd rather focus on getting something for football at this point.

Sports fans like to go to nice places too. Every game/concert I've been to the first thing that I mention when asked how it was is usually 'man that place was nice', or I call it a dump. You can draw a lot of people by having a place that Mobilians can brag about and then you can change that 'bad sports town' moniker. But having said that, it just cost too much to try to improve it across the board at once. Let baseball die and maybe down the road we can make another run at it. Especially once downtown grows in residency.
