The feasibility study shows the cost of building the Sports and Entertainment Complex in both the Downtown Rail Yard location and a new stadium in the current Natomas location.  The Natomas site would be an estimated $3,370,000 less in building expenses than the Rail Yard project.

Currently, there is no plan in place for a new parking structure attached to the stadium.  Increased public transit and nearly 8,000 existing parking spaces in the surrounding area, many of which are used by day time state workers, will be used to handle the traffic.

The City Council will have a 100-day window to review the plans and make comments and suggestions.

The Taylor/ICON group took on the Sacramento sports and entertainment center feasibility study pro bono in February of 2011.  Over the last four months, they have continued to work on a comprehensive plan that includes not only the building cost of a new facility in Sacramento, but the financing mechanisms to make that dream a reality.
