In what is suppose to be a growing economy, commercial vacancy rates are increasing.

You can't have growth without things dying off (and sometimes being reborn as other things). The malls died because they were replaced, not because people stopped buying things. The new class A office space made the old office space class B.
And the Vet. Reminder, I was a contractor for the Eagles in 98-99 and was in basically every facility of Vet Stadium inside and out. (except the visitors locker room - I never made it there)
It was not a good football stadium. It was maintained - they replaced its entire playing surface, at great expense, a few years before they destroyed it. But it lacked things that couldn't just be easily added. They wanted a football-only configuration, with rows of deep luxury boxes that make big money in a cold weather town.
And lots more restrooms...
