“Our intent is to keep that type of look and feel but some of the sites that we are looking at, you’re gonna have to change the site plan a little bit.

But what you have in this owner is a commitment for something that is transformative. Something that’s gonna change the skyline. That’s going to change the experience of this valley.

We’re still committed to every use. An arena. A practice facility that will be open to the community. A theatre, a 45,000 person theatre, 35,000 person theatre, 3,500 sorry. And all the restaurant row. All the retail. The hotels. The residential. All of that. We see this as a district. We see this as a community. We see this as a place that you can live, work, and play. That’s still our commitment and it’s going to be at that highest level in calibre of architectural finishing.

Very, very similar. We’re actually taking the same plans. That’s our intent. You’re gonna have to move some things around in terms of location, in terms of egress and ingress. But we’re very committed to making this something spectacular.”
