The Austin Wranglers, Austin's Arena Football League team, is looking into building a 14,000-seat arena. According to the Austin Business Journal, the team recently hired CSL Consulting Inc. of Dallas to do a study on whether the arena would make economic sense. Apparently the results showed that there is a demand for a venue of at least 10,000 seats to be built in the Austin suburbs.
