tackle store at the old Aud?

[Radnine]

The other day when I was watching a Buffalo hockey game the announcer said something about someone buying fishing tackle at a store that will be built where they are now tearing down the old Aud.

Does anyone know what's going in there?

Buffalo, NY-November 29, 2004-Bass Pro Shops, America's most popular outdoor store, today announced they have agreed to be part of a huge development in Buffalo's historical Memorial Auditorium known affectionately as "The Aud". The New York State Urban Development Corporation, County of Erie, City of Buffalo and Bass Pro Shops have all joined together to make this project happen.

 

The Bass Pro Shops store will be approximately 250,000 square feet and will anchor the project that also includes a museum/interpretive center, hotel and a themed full-service restaurant. Future waterfront re-development will include an intermodal transportation center, specialty shops and more.
