Well, that sounds good, but who is going to go out there on non-game days?

There are already shopping and dining districts closer to me. And I don't think that area has it in them to support something major like that. There really isn't a whole lot of nice stuff around there, a mall that used to be nearby is getting bulldozed... it doesn't seem like an area where something upscale would succeed.

I'm not sure why someone like me, who lives up north, would drive out to the stadiums to eat a nice meal and visit a bar or whatever, when I can do that pretty easily within 10 minutes or so of myself already.

Sure I'd go out there once to check it out, but not regularly. There is nice stuff out at the Speedway, but I never go out there. I have been out to Cabelas a few times, I ate at famous dave's, I even went to a race last year. But other than that, why drive 30 minutes when I can only drive 10 and get the same things?
