Frankly, I think the riverfront stadium (vs. Broadway commons) was the correct choice.
I could not see any decent access, nor parking for the Broadway commons location and to top it off, the ballpark was facing the wrong way, if one is looking for urban appeal (lets take another look at the passing traffic on I-71).
As to rehabing Over-the-Rhine, I'll leave that for those familiar with the area.
