Under the plan, a parking lot next to the stadium would be converted into a mall with 200 stores, a movie theater, restaurants, entertainment venues and a 2,500-space parking garage.
The project would also include the creation of 2,500 housing units, a portion of which would be affordable housing, as well as several acres of open space and a hotel. The developer also agreed to provide more than $15 million in funding for improvements and upkeep at Flushing Meadows-Corona Park.

I guess the biggest remaining question is: what’ll this do for parking next season?
Next year I think nothing.
That’s good! Though I’m guessing it may be a nightmare for Harvey’s return in 2015.
