A question for you
Ampitheatre on the grounds of the former Victory Stadium?
Good idea, but what about parking? and why build from scratch...
You have 2 halves of a whole stadium allready. Pick the better one, keep it - tear down the other one. Add a second half at an angle to the first, connect with a stage area and youre done.
And look, you've kept the spirit of VS alive by keeping a large section of it. And, if you leave the grounds natural (ie. don't asphalt everything over) you can continue sports there. Amphitheatre, or baseball stadium?
Concert setup:
Left side, bleacher-style seating. Center, field level seating (bring your own seat). Right, bleacher-style seating.
Game setup:
Left, bleachers. Center, game field. Right, bleachers.
Not so different than it is now, just more flexible. And a ton cheaper than full demo and full construction.
But thats just me, and no one ever listens to me.

Where would you keep the canoes?
Ok, but those halves are fairly substandard as it is and I'm sure they're not the aesthetic they're going for. Why do you want to save reminents of the stadium? While it is history, its not a huge part of it. But on that other hand, I guess I can kinda understand it from the historical angle.....
It's not so much the history, or sentimentality. Its the cost. Saving half of it, and reskinning it for a different look (take a look at the new plans for Shea Stadium in NY, looks better than the new Yankee Stadium). Plus, its easier to work with defined boundaries than it is to start from scratch and have to worry about adequate parking, transportation issues, load-in/load-out areas, et. al.
Simple cost issue, thats all.
