Re: New Arena for Sioux Falls
1. SF will never get affiliated minor league baseball, simply because there is not a minor league close enough and MLB is cutting back on affiliates already. But I have played baseball at the Stadium, and it is a very nice facility for what it is, though it's nowhere near the quality of stadiums being built around the country to house affiliated teams (newer parks in Dayton OH, Midland MI and Akron OH come to mind -- look up pics of those facilities and compare them to SF Stadium, and you'll see what I mean).
2. No doubt, what you say about having a big facility to host basketball and football is the biggest building challenge this group faces, not to mention being able to incorporate hockey and still keep it all having an intimate enough feel for concert. Making it work could make this venue one-of-a-kind and a model for other cities.
3. Indoor football could work on this facility very easily, since the boards used are the same as hockey. You may need to add additional temporary seating in close to the field as well.
