I just recently drove by Military Circle Mall and noticed how bad the are has declined. Here's an idea, how about razinging the mall and build the new arena there. The area would be revitalized with all the visitors coming to see regional NCAA/ACC Men's & Women's Basketball Tournament games. Plus the location will be along the light rail once it is continued towards the beach. As for the Waterside Complex, the city should gut it and extend it towards the Harbor Park ballpark with boat piers down the length of it. Creating a long entertainment complex that can house venues such as ESPN Zone, CineBistro, Off-Track Betting Site, indoor kids park/playground, REI store, O'Connor's Local Bar and Restaurant, Dave & Buster's, Captain George's Seafood Restaurant, TCC/ODU/NSU Bookstore, etc. Think of it as Norfolk's own version of Virginia Beach's Boardwalk at the Oceanfront.
