I somewhat agree. Busch helped give St. Louis's downtown a mini-boost in the mid-60s, but a lot of that had to do with the Arch. St. Louis was starting to blossom again when the TWA Dome opened in 1995.
Baltimore is essentially the same boat, only they got a 5-year jump on the rest of the cities. Charm City was going headstrong with the Harbor and Camden Yards in 1991. PSInet added to the revitalizing. (Now if Baltimore Arena was rebuilt or torn down, that WOULD be a big boost.)
I think Cincy and Pitt will benefit from their new stadiums...even if it's only minor. The simple fact that the stadiums are new will give a boost regardless. We'll see the same thing here in a few years.
