Sacramento's new arena kind of saves downtown Sac. It's now wonderful and I'm not sure it would have been without that stadium being the lifeblood of the city

Capital One Arena in DC (then the MCI Center...and then Verizon Center aka The Phone Booth) revitalized that portion of DC as well.

Yes but that is used for more than 8 games and the occasional monster truck show.

And monster truck shows are kind of a ripoff anyway. You end up paying for a whole seat when you only need the edge.

Yeah it’s really the only thing downtown has going for it at all.
