Message: [QUOTE="DarthGrumpy, post: 2890760, member: 2141"] Building large stadiums/arenas/convention centers over train line is not unusual as the land is usually 'cheap' (especially when public entities are willing to throw money into it to spure redevelopment of a neighorhood) for building that don't generate as much money as a business skyscraper and/or condo and are also lighter than them. That said, most are built on extra space that a rail yard no longer needs, such as Safeco in Seattle, Coors in Denver, Rogers in Toronto, and Camden Yards in Baltimore, and not on top of an active rail line, such as MSG in NYC (Penn Station) and the TD Garden in Boston (North Station).
