modeled on the Atlanta Braves Battery complex.
The Arizona Cardinals have something similar in Glendale. We hung out there before the NC game in 2011.

Yea, it's not nearly as good.
I assume that they hope that the location on the river and near campus makes it a retail area that people visit year round, because part of the appeal of places like the Battery is that they are attached to stadiums that have games or events 100+ nights a year (including concerts and other games played at the location). A college football stadium hosts 20 events a year, maybe? Max?
The entire financial setup of the Battery - down to the lease agreement structures for the tenants - are tied into the seasonality of in-season and out-of season.
I'd guess that the location for this has some decent year-end potential due to it's location near both campus and downtown (and being on the river), plus the overall collapse of the strip and push of almost all bar/nightlife activity downtown the last decade or so.
