At least it's not like the Diamondbacks, who want to ditch their retractable-roof stadium with restaurants and what not after only 20 years.

The LoDo area of Denver was a rundown collection of old buildings and warehouses before Coors Field was built. Now it's arguably the most active area of the city. I bet someone out there has quantified it, but I don't think there's any question it's been a huge success.


EDIT: Here's an article about it.
