Okay as someone who has been there upteen times they've done a great job. Absolutely made going downtown worthwhile.
Having said that the cost was massive. They basically took their exchange district, fixed it up with stores, restaurants, movie theatres, plopped in a AAA stadium and this is the part that is truly impressive and I wish we did it here...they gutted out some streets and put in a canal that people can take tourist boats on.
Just need a billion or 2 and twice the population to do the same thing but its a very similar situation.
