That would be an absolutely awful use of that land. Something with the footprint of Ford Field but none of the economic benefit of having 65k people show up every now and then for a game or concert.

Yeah, I'm sure Gilbert paid all that money just to have an empty football field sit on it. There is space around the Brewster-Douglas rec center but not sure what the plans are for it.

That would make slightly more sense but I still think that area is best suited for higher density residential. I also recall that because it was low income housing before that HUD requires that there be some element of that on the site regardless of who develops it.
