Eminent Domain Not Required
Plenty of Parking
Plenty of place to que vehicular traffic
Plenty of space to re-develop area via parking lot air rights
Plenty of space to enlarge stadium with an outer ring to allow uninterrupted use
A Monumental Stadium Location on the East Capitol Street axis

Baseball in a monumental setting, and not in something blocking a monumental setting!
