A couple quotes from the article:

"Richard also said the city would be interested in selling the naming rights of the stadium to generate more income for the project."

"The mayor also said he would be interested in examining the expansion of legal gambling downtown, but he did not believe the state legislature would permit that. He said the city is looking at fostering development just north of the river downtown, even while it works on Harrison Square."

Mayor goes to bat for downtown
Harrison Square is main topic at annual speech to Downtown Rotary Club
