yeah I get some of that, but the one thing my job provides is good insights into the mindsets of the casuals.  Sure you can ultimately FIND parking, and get up there (like we all do like forever), but it is felt to be quite a HASSLE to do it instead of being an easy deal like virtually every other college stadium.

The downtown site would alleviate all that, provide a better game day atmoshere at least re tailgating and would likely attract all sorts of attention from the casuals who go to Destiny, Inner Harbor, etc. and who would also likely attend a game or two out of at least curiousity for something "new".  That location and stadium would provide this opportunity and make it easier overall for not only people to simply get there and enjoy, but to expand the reach of who might be interested.

God know I'm with all on how the new Dome would be great in general, especially for all of us, but to the casual/many locals it would still be akin the what Bud calls the War Memorial (The Spruced up Dump), it would still be the spruced up Dome to the locals and not be as much as an attraction.

It's time to think really outside of the box as Go is writing and not let this once (or maybe twice) in a lifetime opportunity be missed to expand the reach of this communities sporting interests farther and wider to get more aboard.
